Microsoft Word is the most popular word processing application on the market and is available on platforms such as Windows, Apple MAC and Android. The Microsoft Word application comes bundled in the Microsoft Office Suite (which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint amongst others) or the stand-alone version can be purchased on its own. For most people the stand-alone Microsoft Word is not a cost effective purchase as it is only marginally less than the Office suite. The main purpose of Microsoft Word is to allow users to type and save documents in a versatile yet easy to use application. Microsoft word has many features and can be used to produce letters, bulk mail, books, leaflets, business cards and several other document related items. This application can produce professional results with little time and effort spent by its users and because of its popularity documents can be shared and opened by almost all other word processing applications such as OpenOffice and AbiWord. The available templates, both built into the package and downloadable, makes creating specific documents quick and effortless. These templates include professional letters, resumes (Curriculum Vita), package labels, budgets and many more.
