Selecting a word-processing program

What makes a good word-processing program? That depends entirely on how the person who is buying it intends to use it. A novelist would want certain features. A student might want different ones. And the owner of a store might want still others. Someone who is choosing a word-processing program should start by asking three questions:

1. What tasks do I want to accomplish?

What tasks can this word-processing program accomplish?

How easily can this word-processing program accomplish these tasks? The first question is the most important one. Potential buyers must know

what kind of writing they plan to do with a word-processing program before they can choose the program that's best for them. For example, someone who plans to use the program for simple writing tasks like letters and school reports doesn't need sophisticated functions like the ability to merge two different files. A simple, basic program will do. On the other hand, someone who plans to use the word-processing program to produce a community newsletter should look for a more sophisticated program with many fea­tures, such as one that allows the user to select a variety of type styles.

Once a potential buyer has made a list of necessary features, it should be a simple matter to find a program that offers just those features. It should be, but it often isn't. Many software packages will have all the features ex­cept one or will come with one or two extra features that are not on the list. Then the buyer will have to decide whether it is worth it to pay extra for features that aren't really necessary or if it's better to give up a feature or two in order to save some money. Last but not least, the buyer should check how easily the word-processing program performs these functions. The best way to do that is to load the program, type in some text, and then try editing it. Some programs are easier to operate than others. Buyers have to deter­mine which software is the easiest for them to work with.
