                 Written  information  is  more  authentic  and  proficient  than  other  modes  of  communication.
                 Writing involves composing of text and composed text materials that serve as a medium of
                 valuable ideas and expression.

                 Imagine a situation where we are creating documents, it would be tedious and lengthy task to
                 do the following operations manually with the help of a pen and a paper:
                 l    Preparing a document that has large number of papers.

                 l    Editing and changing some contents after the writing work is over.
                 l    Removing some contents of the document and inserting them at some other place in the
                      document.

                 l    Changing the width (side wise) of the page margins of the document.

                 l    Adding pages and inserting page numbers instantly in the whole document.
                 l    Doing the corrections of the spellings and grammar of text contents of the document.

                 l    Searching a particular word or phrase in the document and replacing it with the other.

                 All such tasks can be done in a traditional way but that will take a lot of time and energy. Such
                 tasks or written work can be created in a much organised manner and can be easily handled
                 when typed in a computer with the help of a Word Processing package.






















                   INTRODUCTION TO WORD PROCESSING

                 A word processing package is an application software that helps type text and create documents.
                 It also helps in editing, formatting and printing documents. Modern word processing software
                 provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI). They also support the What-You-See-Is-What-You-
