Microsoft Word is the de facto standard in word processing. Simple on the surface, yet immensely capable and feature-rich when you poke around. It’s one of those productivity applications that nearly all of us have come across at our school and workplace for preparing assignments, essays, business reports, research projects, resumes, and more.
Word can also come in handy for basic graphic design. You can create cover pages, business cards, brochures, and even full-on magazines and e-books for digital publishing. But its wealth of capabilities make it equally good for casual, everyday users.
