Word Processors
A Word Processor is a computer software
through which users are able to write, edit,
store, display, and print texts. Word
Processors are the most common computer
applications and can be installed on PC or
other devices (Computer Hope, 2018). The
main features associated with Word
Processors are “insert text”, “delete text”,
“copy, cut and paste text”, “file
management”, and “spell checking”
(Computer Hope, 2018). Indeed, Word
Processors enable users to insert texts within
a document along with the possibility of
erasing or modifying the content entered. In
addition, with Word Processors, users are
able to remove sections of the text from one
place to another (Computer Hope, 2018).
During text input, some advanced Word
Processors can check spellings and suggest
corrections. In fact, the latest Word
Processors can even identify wordy
sentences and punctuation mistakes
according to the common grammar rules.

manage network and storage devices such as
routers, modems, and internal drives.
Microsoft Windows is the most used OS in
the world. Microsoft Windows is produced
by Microsoft Corporation with the aim of
making computers more friendly and
organizing information for easy access
(Soffar, 2017). Since its introduction in
