Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word or Microsoft Office Word or Word is Microsoft's flagship word processing software (word processor). First published in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix, other versions were later developed for various operating systems, such as DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh (1984), SCO UNIX, OS / 2, and Microsoft Windows (1989). After becoming part of Microsoft Office System 2003 and 2007 was named Microsoft Office Word. In Office 2013, its name is simply called Word.

Many Word ideas and concepts are drawn from Bravos, the first graphics-based word processor developed at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Bravo creator Charles Simonyi left Xerox PARC and moved to Microsoft in 1981. Simonyi also hired Richard Brodie from PARC. On February 1, 1983, Word Multi-Tool development began. After being given a new name Microsoft Word, Microsoft published this program on October 25, 1983 for the IBM PC. At that time the word processing world is controlled by WordPerfect and also WordStar.

Word has the concept of "What You See Is What You Get", or WYSIWYG, and is the first program that can display bold and italic prints on the IBM PC. Word also used a lot of mice that were not so prevalent so they offer Word-with-Mouse packages. Other DOS-based Word processors, such as WordStar and WordPerfect, display text only with markup and color codes to mark bold, italic, and so on.

Word for Macintosh, despite having many different views of its DOS version, is programmed by Ken Shapiro with little difference from the DOS version source code, written for high-resolution display screens and laser printers, even though no such products are publicly circulated. After LisaWrite and MacWrite, Microsoft also tries to add the WYSIWYG feature into the Word for Macintosh programming package. After Word for Macintosh was released in 1985, the program gained considerable attention from the community of computer users. Microsoft does not create versions of Word 2.0 for Macintosh, to equate versions with Word for other systems or platforms.

The next version of Word for Macintosh, is Word 3.0, released in 1987. This version includes many enhancements and new features but has many bugs. In just a few months, Microsoft replaced Word 3.0 with Word 3.01, which is much more stable. All registered users of Word 3.0 are sent a letter containing a copy of Word 3.01 for free, making this the most expensive Microsoft error to redeem at that time. Word 4.0, released in 1989, is a very successful and also stable version used.

Year 1990-1995
In this year's range, Word for Windows launches. The first version of Word for Windows was released in 1989 at a price of 500 US Dollars. With the release of Microsoft Windows 3.0 in the next year, sales were finally boosted up, considering Word for Windows 1.0 is designed for Windows 3.0 and its performance is very bad if run on previous versions. Microsoft waited until the release of Word 2.0 to reinforce Microsoft Word as the leader of the word processing market.
