| The soaring competition and advanced IT technologies have made software developers pay attention to effectiveness and proficiency of all work processes. Consequently, there have been invented different applications to facilitate enterprises' work.
One of the most widely used formats is Word Document. Microsoft Word is a word processing application which is designed for creation of office documents, for example resumes, letters, fax cover sheets, audit reports, legal documents, brochures, technical manuals etc. Word is commonly used by corporations, community agencies, and can be seen in the vast majority of educational establishments. Students use it daily and businessmen use it for creating office documents.
Word Document was introduced to the market by Microsoft. It was released under the name Multi-Tool Word. The first version was presented in the 1980s. Since that time, there have been introduced several other versions, including the latest addition introduced in 2008. The next addition of Word is thought to be introduced in 2010. Many new features typical of other programs in the Microsoft Office 2010 will be included.
Though Word is a constituent of the Microsoft Office system, it sells as a standalone product and included in Microsoft Works Suite. Starting from the 2003 version, the branding was changed to emphasise Word's identity as a constituent within the Office Suite. The company renamed Microsoft Word into Microsoft Office Word.
Word's document formats are denoted either by a. doc or. docx file extension. The newer ".docx" extension stands for the Office Open XML international standard for Office documents and is deployed by Word 2007 for Windows, Word 2008 for the Macintosh.
