Word Processor
Word processor is a type of application software, which is being widely used in different
fields at present. With the help of a word processor, you can create any type of document.
Microsoft word is a very popular word processor software.
Word processors software creates many types of word files extensions like - text files (.txt), rich
text files (.rtf), HTML files (.htm & .html), and Word files (.doc & .docx).
Word Processor – brief history
In the 1960s, a word processor was a stand-alone office machine with a keyboard, printer,
electric typewriter, and a recording unit. It used either a simple dedicated computer processor or
a floppy disk. According to Harry Henderson, in his book titled ‘Encyclopedia of Computer
Science and technology’, IBM is believed to have coined the term ‘word processor’ in the 1960s.
It was used to refer to a system consisting of a Selectric typewriter with a magnetic tape storage.
During the 1960s and 1970s, the features and designs gradually changed as technology
advanced. They had a monochrome (black and white) display, and were able to save documents
on diskettes or memory cards. The first ‘modern’ style word processor was brought to the market
by Lexitron and Linolex. As well as a magnetic tape, it also had a video display screen, so that
the typist could see and correct errors without having to print it first. By the late-1970s-early1980s several innovations were introduced, including improved formatting options and spellcheckers. In the late 1970s, word-processing systems developed by Wang, Data General, Digital
Equipment Corporation, and others were essentially microcomputers with tiny monitors
(screens), keyboards, printers and specialized software.
At $8,000 to $20,000 each, and requiring specially-trained operators, very few companies
had word-processing systems. With $20,000, an employer could pay the wages of 2.5 secretaries
for a whole year in 1979. When personal computers, printers, and computer applications for
word processing came onto the scene, sales of dedicated word processor machines plummeted.
In 2009, there were just two American companies – AlphaSmart and Classic – which continued
making them. Today, typical word processing software comprises more than one program and
can produce a combination of graphics, images and text – with the text having type-setting
capability.
