What is a word processor?

A word processor is an application program or the software that lets the user enter
and edit text on a computer quickly and efficiently. Although the software cannot
improve the content of a document, a word processor does provide the tools to
make it visually appealing, that is, to give it style. You can buy a word processor
alone or as part of a suite like Microsoft Office Word and the Sun Microsystems Star
Office.
