Basic info about Microsoft word

What Is Microsoft Word?

That's an application you use to “process”— format, manipulate, save, print, share — a text-based document.

Origins:

In 1981, Microsoft hired Charles Simonyi, the primary developer of Bravo, the first GUI word processor, which was developed at Xerox PARC.

When Word 1.0 for Windows was released in 1989, it was one of the first word processors that offered a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface. This combination of ease of use and robust features makes it the go-to word processor in both homes and offices today. It’s now also available for the Mac operating system as well as a web-based version through an Office 365 subscription. Unlike most MS-DOS programs at the time, Microsoft Word was designed to be used with a mouse.
