Word processing is a type of software that focuses on the ability to handle text. The computer
does this by assigning each letter of the alphabet and each other character on the keyboard a
specific numeric code. These numeric codes are translated into computer machine language,
and stored in the computer's memory.

What Are Some Advantages and Disadvantages of a Word Processor?

Some advantages of a word processor include its time saving ability, clarity, enhancement of
document appearance, it allows sharing, allows synchronization and has easy spell checking.
The disadvantages include the fact that a computer is needed, it may have too many options,
requires computer skills, may be expensive and is prone to virus attacks.

Below are some details regarding the advantages and disadvantages of a word processor.

Advantages

 Time saving - people can generally type words faster than they can write using a pen.
This means they take less time to create a document when typing
 Clarity - word processors have fonts that help make the document clear or easy to read
as compared to different handwriting
 Synchronization - people in two different locations can create a document through
synchronization. This means both can edit and add content almost simultaneously
 Spell checking - word processors have automatic spell checking features that help in
error elimination. They also allow for grammar correction in certain instances
Disadvantages

 Expensive - not everyone can afford a computer which is essential in using word
processors
 Need for powered computer - when there is a power black out, word processors cannot
be used since computers require power to function
 Too many options - some word processors have too many options which make them
difficult to use for those who do not have experience

Summary/Conclusion
Word processing is the act of using a computer to transform written, verbal, or recorded information into
typewritten or printed form. Of all the computer applications in use, word processing is by far the most
common. The ability to perform word processing requires a computer and a special type of computer
software called a word processor. A word processor is a program designed to assist with the production of
a wide variety of documents, including letters,
The ability to perform word processing requires a computer and a special type of computer software called
a word processor. A word processor is a program designed to assist with the production of a wide variety of
documents, including letters, memoranda, and manuals, rapidly and at relatively low cost. A typical word
processor enables the user to create documents, edit them using the keyboard and mouse, store them for
later retrieval, and print them to a printer. Common word processing applications include Microsoft
Notepad, Microsoft Word, and Corel WordPerfect.

Word processing technology allows human beings to freely and efficiently share ideas, thoughts, feelings,
sentiments, facts, and other information in written form. Throughout history, the written word has provided
mankind with the ability to transform thoughts into printed words for distribution to hundreds, thousands, or
possibly millions of readers around the world. The power of the written word to transcend verbal
communications is best exemplified by the ability of writers to share information and express ideas with far
larger audiences and the permanency of the written word.

The increasingly large collective body of knowledge is one outcome of the permanency of the written word,
including both historical and current works. Powered by decreasing prices, increasing sophistication, and
widespread availability of technology, the word processing revolution changed the landscape of
communications by giving people hitherto unavailable power to make or break reputations, to win or lose
elections, and to inspire or mislead through the printed word.
