Word processors are software applications used for creating, editing, and formatting text documents. They provide tools for typing, spell checking, formatting fonts and paragraphs, and inserting images.
Think of a word processor as a virtual typewriter that allows you to easily write and format your documents. Just like how a typewriter helps you type and organize your thoughts on paper, a word processor helps you do the same on your computer.
Spreadsheets: Software applications used for organizing data in rows and columns. They are commonly used for tasks such as budgeting, data analysis, and creating charts.
Presentation software: Applications designed to create slideshows or presentations with text, images, videos, and animations. They are often used in classrooms or business meetings to deliver information visually.
Text editors: Simple software programs used for writing plain text files without any formatting options. They are commonly used by programmers to write code or by writers who prefer a distraction-free writing environment.
