 ¿Qué es procesamiento?  En 1968, IBM había usado por primera vez el procesamiento de término. El término describe máquinas que podrían utilizarse para escribir un documento, recuerde las pulsaciones del mecanógrafo y producir más de una copia. Con esta nueva herramienta, los trabajadores habían ahorrado tiempo.  Ese fue sólo el comienzo. Programas de procesamiento de textos de hoy hacen mucho más. Supongamos que fueron algo escrito a mano y cometió un error o cambiado de opinión acerca de lo quería decir. Si estuviera utilizando un bolígrafo, probablemente sería tachar las palabras que desea cambiar o Pincel de corrector líquido. Ello deja la página desordenado, aunque. Con el software de procesamiento de texto, puede cambiar el texto y crear páginas ordenadas. Incluso puede guardar lo que ha escrito y utilizarlo nuevamente un día, una semana o incluso un año más tarde.

Functions of Word-Processing Programs Word-processing programs are used for creating and printing text documents. These programs have four functions: writing—entering text and symbols into a document editing—revising or reorganizing the text formatting—changing how the text looks on the page printing—producing a printed copy These tasks do not need to be done all at once or even in the order shown here. Whatever the order, these four functions are at the heart of word processing.

Uses of Word Processing Word-processing programs can be used to create almost any kind of printed document, such as letters, reports, and brochures. They can also be used to create calendars, return-address labels, and labels for homemade CDs. It is no surprise that word- processing software is the application that people use more than any other application.

Working With a Word-Processing Document When you open a word processing program, a new, blank document is created. It looks like a blank piece of paper on the screen. The program is ready for you to start writing. You can create another new document at any time by clicking the Office button, clicking the New command, selecting Blank Document, and clicking the Create button. In most word processing programs, you can also create a new document by pressing Ctrl+N (hold the Ctrl key and press N). Scrolling As you write, you might want to reread or change something you wrote earlier. That is made easy by scrolling— using the mouse or keyboard to move through the document Insertion Point The insertion point shows where the text you type will appear. It moves as you type.

Figure All word processing programs share these basic features, but the New and Save commands may be on different toolbars and menus from Office You can scroll up or down by using the mouse to click the scroll bar or drag the scroll box at the right of the document window. Many mouse devices have scrolling wheels. You can also use the Up and Down arrow keys or the Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys to move around in the document.

Basic Features Most word- processing programs have four basic features. They help you write, edit, and save your work

With word wrap, the program automatically starts a new line, or “wraps” the text, when the current line is full. If you wish, you can force text onto a new line by pressing Enter. When a page is full, the pagination feature automatically starts a new page. You can also force a new page by inserting a special character, called a page break. The AutoCorrect feature fixes common spelling mistakes as they are typed. You can turn off this feature or modify it to accept unusual words that you often use. The AutoRecover or autosave feature protects you from losing work. It does so by automatically saving a document as often as you want. If the computer shuts down accidentally, you can retrieve the most recently saved version.
