1. RAJAT SINGLA PRESENTATION ON WORD PROCESSOR

2. Definitions A type of software that displays characters based on a user's input on an external or internal keyboard. The software allows the user to edit, modify, and format documents based on display preferences. The most common word processors are Microsoft Word and WordPerfect.   A machine similar to a typewriter that prints text as a user strokes keys on a keyboard. These machines have mostly been replaced with personal computers.   In the past, typewriters were used to prepare documents. Once the document is created on the paper, it cannot be edited again. The typewriter providers no facility for formatting the documents etc. The images are manually inserted in the documents.

3. You can make changes without retyping the entire document. You can easily correct typing mistakes. You can easily delete text from document. It is easy to insert a word, sentence, or paragraph in the middle (or any location) of a document. You can easily shift a portion of document from one place to another within a document, or between different documents. You can send the document to a printer to get a hard copy. Many hard copies of the document can be created. The main advantages of Word processor over using a typewriter are as follows:

4. More advanced features found in recent word processors include: Collaborative editing, allowing multiple users to work on the same document. Indexing assistance. (True indexing, as performed by a professional human indexer, is far beyond current technology, for the same reasons that fully automated, literary-quality machine translation is.) Creation of tables of contents. Management, editing, and positioning of visual material (illustrations, diagrams), and sometimes sound files.

5. Automatically managed (updated) cross-references to pages or notes. Version control of a document, permitting reconstruction of its evolution. Non-printing comments and annotations. Generation of document statistics (characters, words, readability level, time spent editing by each user). "Styles", which automate consistent formatting of text body, titles, subtitles, highlighted text, and so on.
