 Microsoft Word is a widely used commercial word
processor designed by Microsoft. Microsoft Word
is a component of the Microsoft Office suite of
productivity software, but can also be purchased
as a stand-alone product.
 It was initially launched in 1983 and has since
been revised numerous times. Microsoft Word is
available for both Windows and Macintosh
operating systems.
 Microsoft Word is often called simply Word or MS
Word.
 WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) display: It
ensures that everything displayed on screen appears
the same way when printed or moved to another
format or program.
 Spell check: Word features a built-in dictionary for
spell checking; misspelled words are marked with a
red squiggly underline. Sometimes, Word auto-
corrects an obviously misspelled word or phrase.
 Text-level features such as bold, underline, italic and
strike-through
 Page-level features such as indentation,
paragraphing and justification
 External support: Word is compatible with many other
programs, the most common being the other
members of the Office suite.
The ribbon is broken down to nine parts.
