Introduction to Word Processing
Word processing is the automated manipulation of text. This
includes initial entry of text into
editing of previously entered text
a word processing system,
and formatted printing of
text. The text itself can be a form letter, a technical
or the chapters ofa book. Or it ' could be any other
material that you want to print without errors or you

printing a number of times with minor revisions from one princing
to another. Word processing does not lend itself well to the
routine typing of letters, invoices or other documents that are
normally typed just once. But for repetitive tasks it can be a
great time saver.
There are three basic steps involved in using a word
processing system.
1. Entr~ of new text.
2. Editing or correcting previously entered text.
3. Qutout of previously entered text with formatting
such as margin justification and page numbering.

produced quickly and takes little operator assistance.
The automatic features of the Word Processing system provide
for easy entry of changes and automatically compensate for these
changes at the next printing. For example, if you insert a new
sentence or paragraph, all text after the insertion is moved down
and page boundaries are readjus~ed appropriately.
Some of the other features a ~vord Processor prov~des are:
*
the ability to move blocks of text or duplicate
of text within a document

* the ability to find all occurrences of a given word or
phrase within a docum~nt and, optionally, to change all
such occurrences to a different word or phrase.
