                         Written information is more authentic  than  other  modes of communication. Writing involves
                         typing & composing text. The composed text materials enable to prepare the documents.
                         Imagine a situation where we are making documents, it would be lengthy & tedious if we have to
                         do the following task manually with the help of pen & paper:

                           Writing text for a document that has a large number of papers.
                           Editing & changing some content after composing it.

                           Moving content from one part of the document to another.
                           Changing the width (sidewise) of page margins of the papers in a document.

                           Adding new pages in between the pages of the document.
                           Doing corrections of spellings & checking the grammar of textual contents of the document.

                           Searching a particular word or phrase in the document and replace it with the other word.
                         Such tasks can be done in a traditional way also but that would take a lot of time and resources.
                         A written work or document can be created in a more organised way and can be easily handled
                         when typed on a computer with the help of a ‘Word Processing’ package.































                         A word processing package is a kind of software that provides page layout & enables to type text
                         & create documents and also helps in editing, formatting, modifying, printing and storing the
                         contents of the document.
