Word Processing is used for the creation of text documents. We mainly use microsoft word or word perfect.

The functions of a word processor are : 

  1. Text editing
  2. Word wrap and centering
  3. Search and replace , Move and copy
  4. Layout settings
  5. Headers, Footers and page numbers
  6. Style sheets 
  7. Clip arts and pictures 
  8. Preview , print and group print
  9. Footnotes and end notes
  10. Spelling checker and thesaurus
Style Sheets are the important so i'm going to tell you what their function is.

When you apply a style , you apply the whole group of formats in one simple task. For example instead of taking three steps you can only take 1 by using the Title style , heading 1 and heading 2 .....You can create or view these styles go to the styles and formatting task pane.

Advanced Functions

Mail merge : this is used by combining together a form of letter and a list of data , by that you will create a personalized letter.

Table of contents : This is a list of headings in a document. You can get an over-view of the topics in that particular document

*Important to note that both table of contents and indexes are updated automatically.
