Microsoft Word, since the 1990's, has taken the antiquated notion
of the typewriter and made creating typewritten documents easier than
ever.
Instead of having to use white out or start over entirely when you
make a mistake on the page, you can erase said mistake with just a few
strokes of the key. Furthermore, Word gives you the tools that are
needed to make sure your documents sound as professional and readable as
possible by the time you're ready to hit the print button. There have
been many other word processing programs to come down the pike since its
inception, but Word remains the king of the word processing industry
for the following reasons:
User accessible
There
are many advanced features to Microsoft Word, especially the 2010
version, that people can put to work for them. From importing other
media types to the old favorites of "Search and Replace," you can make
hundreds of document improving changes with the push of a button. But
it's not the features that draw the common person to Word. It's the
accessibility. You don't have to be a document expert, language
aficionado, or grammar junkie to create great looking documents on the
go because the program is ready for use from the moment that you open it
on your computer.
