1. Abstract:

Microsoft Word is a word processing software developed by Microsoft. It was first released on
October 25, 1983, under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. Subsequent versions
were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), Apple
Macintosh running the Classic Mac OS (1985), AT&T UNIX PC (1985), Atari ST (1988), OS/2
(1989), Microsoft Windows (1989), SCO Unix (1990), and macOS (2001).
Commercial versions of Word are licensed as a standalone product or as a component of
Microsoft Office 365, or Microsoft 365 Premium subscription, Windows RT or the discontinued
Microsoft Works suite.
Word for Windows is available stand-alone or as part of the Microsoft Office suite. Word
contains rudimentary desktop publishing capabilities and is the most widely used word
processing program on the market. Word files are commonly used as the format for sending text
documents via e-mail because almost every user with a computer can read a Word document by
using the Word application, a Word viewer or a word processor that imports the Word format.
