2.1 What Word Processors Can Do

Word processors are the programs intended for creation of text documents of various complexity which are prepared for a printing. It most frequently used programs presently.

The basic opportunities of Word Processors are listed below.

Using Different Typefaces and Text Styles

Word processors can display and print characters in a variety of typefaces and sizes, with attributes such as boldfacing, underlining, and italics.

Searching for and Replacing Characters

They can search for and replace a specified set of characters. This feature is useful if you find that you’ve misspelled someone’s name throughout a document. You can also use it to save yourself typing. You can, for example, type some obscure character like the ~ every time you want to display your company’s name and then later replace every occurrence of ~ with the name itself.

Aligning Text

Word processors can also automatically center text, align it with the right margin, or full-justify text, so that characters line up at the right as well as the left margin

Numbering Pages

You can have a word processor automatically print page numbers at either the top or bottom of each page. This saves you the trouble of entering page numbers within the text and then moving them around when your editing causes the page breaks to move slightly.

Adding Headers and Footers

You can print headers and footers-specified sets of text at the top or bottom of each page. These headers and footers can include the current page number. Some programs let you specify different headers or footers for the first page of your document or for odd and even pages. (You won’t always see page numbers or headers and footers in the onscreen version of your document. However, they should show up when you do a print preview or print your document.)

Columns

You can arrange text in two or more columns (as many leaflets and most periodicals do).

Spell Checking

You can have your word processor check your document for misspelled words, a process known as spell checking. Spell checkers can prove invaluable. (Never send out a resume without using one.) They are, however, no substitute for human proofreading. For one thing, spell checkers only check whether a particular word exists; they don’t tell you if it’s the right word for a particular context. If you type “here” when you mean “hear,” for example, or “major” instead of “mayor,” the spell checker will not blink.
