As already mentioned, a word processor is a package that processes textual matter and creates organized and flawless documents. A word
processor has everything that a conventional typewriter has. In addition to it, a word processor not only removes all the limitations of
typewriters but also offers various useful features that cannot be even dreamt of with typewriters. For instance, making corrections
through typewriters on a typed text(though not impossible but is certainly makes the document untidy). However, with word processors,
the corrections are very simple without affecting the neatness of documents.
The main components of a word processing system are listed below:
*Computer
*Printer
*A word processing software
Also if some textual matter is to be reproduced with minor changes, retyping the only option in typewriters. For example, if some
invitation letters are to be sent to 200 employees and names and addresses of the Invitees are to be types on the documents individually.
Then, with typewriters, retyping the some matter 200 times with the changed names and addresses can be performed and other
alternative is available. On the other hand, the same situation can easily be tackled with in word processor using its nail merge feature.
Mail merge feature allows you to combine text and data without requiring any retyping.
The word processing(and word processor)originated way back in 1964 when special typewriters. Magnetic tape selectric typewriters
(MTST) were launched by IBM (International business machines). These machines were capable of storing documents on magnetic
storage. The stored data could easily be reprinted when desired.
