Word processing
the use of a computer to create word documents such as letters, books, news articles etc. The computer must have a word processing program installed. A user can easily set up the layout of a wide variety of documents with little training. One very distinct advantage of using a computer to create word documents versus a typewriter is the ease with which corrections can be made with a word processor. Moving text around and the storage of documents also adds to the benefits of computerized document creation. Word processing is probably the most popular use for computers.
