Word Processing is one of the most widespread application software types in use today. Developed as a successor to primitive text editors that were popular on mainframe computers, a word processing program allows interactive editing of documents, enabling easy redrafting and merging of chunks of existing documents, without the need for extensive retyping. Most of the popular programs have features such as 'spell' checkers, outlining, choice of fonts, line drawing, as well as page layout settings to produce any type of document .desired. One feature that most of the popular packages offer is a way to just see how the document will look on the printed page; This is a handy feature when laying out complicated tables or columns of text. Some of the examples of word processing software Word Star, Word Perfect, MS Word etc.
