part called Software. Software is all the programs that are found
on your computer. These programs already come pre-installed or you can add them to your
computer. Software, in simple terms, is what gives "life" to the
computer and makes it perform the operations you need. Depending on the task

Exercise No. 2.

I. Type the following text:

Microsoft Word is software designed for data processing. It was created by

the company Microsoft, and is currently integrated into the Microsoft office suite
Office.
In its early days, Word took more than 5 years to achieve success in a market where
MS-DOS was commonly used, and when other programs, such as Corel WordPerfect,
were much more used and popular.
The first version of Microsoft Word was developed by Charles Simonyi.
and Richard Brodie, two former Xerox programmers hired in 1981 by Bill Gates
by Paul Allen. These programmers had worked on Xerox Bravo, which was the
first word processor developed using the WYSIWYG technique ("What You See Is
What You Get); that is, the user could see in advance, on screen, the format
final that would appear in the printed document.
This first version, Word 1.0, was released to the market in October 1983 for the
Xenix MS-DOS platform; initially it was rudimentary and was followed by four others.
very similar versions that had almost no impact on user sales
finales. The first version of Word for Windows was released in 1989, which, although in a
the graphical environment turned out to be much easier to operate, nor did it allow for the
sales will increase significantly. When Windows 3.0 was launched to the market,
1990 saw the real takeoff. Today, it has become the word processor
most popular in the world.
