  Word processor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A word processor (also more formally known as a document preparation system) is a computer application used for the production (including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of viewable or printed material.
Microsoft Word (pictured) is the leader of computer word processing systems in terms of the number of users, with Microsoft estimating over 5m people use the Office suite.
The word processor is a standard component of the "office suite" (set of software for office use), and publishers of these suites tend to push these rather than the less profitable word processors.

 Microsoft Office Word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although MS-DOS was a character-based system, Word for DOS was the first word processor for the IBM PC that showed typeface markups such as bold and italics directly on the screen while editing, although this was not a true WYSIWYG system.
Word for Macintosh was written to match the Mac's user interface, and as such it had little in common with Word for DOS; it eventually became the source for Word for Windows 1.0.
Word 5.1 for the Macintosh, released in 1991, was a popular word processor due to its elegance, relative ease of use, and feature set.

A word processor is computer software used to compose, format, edit and print documents.
Although early word processors used tag-based markup for document formatting, most modern word processors take advantage of a graphical user interface to provide WYSIWYG editing, possibly as a front-end to a tag-based system.
Early word-processing software was ludicrously clumsy in comparison to dedicated word processors; for example, it required users to memorize semi-mnemonic key combinations rather than pressing keys labelled "copy" or "bold." The cost differences were compelling, however, and personal computers and word processing software soon became serious competition for the dedicated machines.

 What is word processing? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A word processor enables you to create a document, store it electronically on a disk, display it on a screen, modify it by entering commands and characters from the keyboard, and print it on a printer.
Word processors also make it easy to move sections of text from one place to another within a document, or between documents.
Word processors that support only these features (and maybe a few others) are called text editors.

 Word Processors: Stupid and Inefficient
Preparing printable text using a word processor effectively forces you to conflate two tasks that are conceptually distinct and that, to ensure that people's time is used most effectively and that the final communication is most effective, ought also to be kept practically distinct.
The user of a word processor is under a strong temptation to lose sight of the logical structure of the text and to conflate this with superficial typographical elements.
By contrast your Snazz 9.0 word processor file can be completely incomprehensible to a recipient who doesn't have the same brand and version of word processor as you-unless he or she is quite knowledgeable about computers and is able to extract the actual text from the binary ``garbage''.

 DfES, Adult Literacy Core Curriculum - Using a word processor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The word processor is potentially a useful tool to help learner writers, and there is evidence that it can be a strong motivator.
Learning how to insert and delete letters and words, use the shift key for capitals, highlight, cut and paste, copy, drag and drop can give people a sense of the word processor's power and an idea of how they might use it in their own writing.
For unconfident writers the greatest advantage of becoming proficient on a word processor is often seen as the ability to produce mistake-free text, but the word processor does not guarantee this.

 Define word processor - a definition from Whatis.com
A word processor is a computer program that provides special capabilities beyond that of a text editor such as the WordPad program that comes as part of Microsoft's Windows operating systems.
In general, word processors screen the user from structural or printer-formatting markup (although WordPerfect and other word processors optionally let you see the markup they insert in your text).
Without visible markup, it's possible to describe a word processor as having a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) user interface.

 Montaigne and the Word Processor
My interpretation of the fundamental root of such persectives is that the word processor deflects in space the act of inscription on paper in and (through its greatest virtue) suspends it in time, thus upsetting a mode which most of us have grown up with, and some of us may need.
There is a sense here in which to erase his words would be to erase some part of himself, a feeling which some of us are aware of in using the word processor, a medium where, as I have often said, erasures obscure the evolution of our texts.
As to printers' errors, so familiar to us all when our words have reached the irretrievable fixity of print, and where typos scream at us like a teenager's spots, Montaigne notes that 'The faults of the workmanship are no where so apparent, as in a matter which of it self has no recommendation.
