A SHORT REVIEW ON MS WORD 2010

Introduction to MS Word
Microsoft Word is a word processing program similar (but better
than) the antiquated Word Perfect or the Microsoft Works Word
processor. Just like any other word processing program, you use
MS Word to view and edit formatted text within a document. A
formatted text document is defined as a document that contains
text which may be in bold, italics, underlined, a different
color, or a different font. All word processing programs can do
all of this, but Microsoft Word allows you to do a lot more. For
that reason, Microsoft Word is the most used word processing
program in existence today.

History of Microsoft Word

The first version of Microsoft Word was developed by Charles
Simonyi and Richard Brodie, former Xerox programmers hired by
Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1981. The first Word version, Word
1.0, was released in October 1983 for Xenixand MS-DOS; it was
followed by four very similar versions that were not very
successful. When Windows 3.0 was released in 1990, Word became
a huge commercial success. Word for Windows 1.0 was followed by
Word 2.0 in 1991 and Word 6.0 in 1993. Then it was renamed to
Word 95 and Word 97, Word 2000 and Word for Office XP. With the
release of Word 2003, the numbering was again year-based. Since
then, Windows versions include Word 2007, Word 2010, Word 2013,
Word 2016, and most recently, Word for Office 365.
The Atari version of Word was a one time release with no future
updates or revisions. In 2014 the source code for Word for
Windows in the version 1.1a was made available to the Computer
History Museum and the public for educational purposes.
