Introduction to word processing

Abstract

A word processor is a programme for editing, rearranging and storing text. There are many functions that a word processor can perform, some of which are very sophisticated. It is unlikely that any one person will ever need to use all the functions available. Generally, users settle down to a subset of frequently used commands and occasionally employ some of the others. The point to remember here is that the computer is a tool. It can help to produce professional looking documents, or to automate repetitive tasks. If you can do that by using just some ten commands, why worry about all the others which are not useful to you? As you become more expert you will find other commands that may be helpful to you; like learning any application package, it is an evolutionary process.
