  or simply called a word processor, which was

  words, but also larger units such as paragraphs,
  pages, etc. Together with Excel and PowerPoint,

  desktop  applications.
• Microsoft Word is used by millions of people
  around the world and although there are free
  versions of other very good word processors, it
  is by far the most popular one and is widely used
  in various spheres of our lives. For many people
  it is an integral part of their work and is also
  used in business, for educational purposes, etc.

  this format, but it is possible to converted the
  documents with a ".docx" extension to documents
