Word processor

Sometimes abbreviated as WP, a word processor is a software program capable of creating, storing, and printing documents. Unlike the standard typewriter, users using word processors have the ability of creating a document and making any type of changes anywhere in the document. This document can also be saved for modification at a later time or to be opened on any other computer using the same word processor.

Examples of word processor programs

Free and/or open source word processor programs

Online word processors

Commercial word processors

A word processor should not be confused with a standard text editor such as Microsoft Notepad, which only contains the ability of editing and creating plaintext documents.
