Uses and Application of Word Processing

USES/APPLICATION
Word processors have a variety of uses and applications within the business world, home and education 1. Business * Within the business world, word processors are extremely useful tools. Typical uses include:
- legal copies
- letters and letterhead
- memos
- reference documents

EXPLANATION :
Possibly, the most beneficial part of word processing to the society of businesses is that it could make different layouts not just one but many. So basically, it provides originality and trademark to the company that could help the company improve their popularity to people. There is no company, “I think” that would make a formal letter using hand-written or type-written. Nowadays, companies tend to use computerize all documents, letters or memos or alike because it provides more convenience, accessible and easy-to-make. For companies who want to advertise their product, word processing is much big help. They could make a pamphlet or other advertising product that could promote their company. * Businesses tend to have their own format and style for any of these. Thus, versatile word processors with layout editing and similar capabilities find widespread use in most businesses.

2. Education
Many schools have begun to teach typing and word processing to their students, starting as early as elementary school. Typically these skills are developed throughout secondary school in preparation for the business world. Undergraduate students typically spend many hours writing essays. Graduate and doctoral students continue this trend, as well as creating works for research and publication.

EXPLANATION : School is the preparation before students go to reality which is the business industries. So school nowadays, provides curriculum that has computer subjects that would let the students learn more about computer-related things. Word processing has many roles in the part of education not only to students but also to teachers/professors.

3. Home
While many homes have word processors on their computers, word processing in the home tends to be educational, planning or business related, dealing with assignments or work being completed at home, or occasionally recreational, e.g. writing short stories. Some use word processors for letter writing, resume creation, and card creation. However, many of these home publishing processes have been taken over by desktop publishing programs specifically oriented toward home use such as The Print Shop, which is better suited for these types of documents.

EXPLANATION :

Students, like us, have different projects, essays, and computer-related things to do. So we need something that would fast up all the things we need to do. Using word processor, just like Microsoft Word, based on my experience, is a great help until now. Because it is convenient and easy to use.
