Word Processed Documents

Word Processed Documents are text based documented created with word processing software e.g. Microsoft Word. These documents can contain such things as memos, reports, letters and essays. They allow the user to enter, edit, format, save and print out text based hard copies of their document. They also give the user the option to print out hard copies of documents which is an advantage because it gives people a portable permanent document. This allows them to have the document when not at the computer. This will be useful for someone who wants to hand out the document to people, instead of sending it to them on the computer. Word processers also allow users to add images, tables, graphs to your documents.

Users are giving the option to save their work so they can close the program and then open it up later on and add more to their document or edit what they have already put. Features including in most word processing software include a spell checker that will check the document for spelling and grammar mistakes, they will show the user when they have made a mistake and give them the option to correct it. A disadvantage to this though is that the spell checker will not always pick up mistakes e.g. It will allow you to put ‘there’ instead of ‘their’ because both are in the dictionary.
