Microsoft
Word is a word processor and was previously considered the main
program in Office. Its proprietary DOC format is considered a de
facto
standard, although Word 2007 can also use a new XML-based, Microsoft
Office-optimized format called .DOCX, which has been standardized by
Ecma International as Office Open XML, and its SP2 update supports
PDF and a limited ODF. Word is also available in some editions of
Microsoft Works. It is available for the Windows and OS X platforms.
The first version of Word, released in the autumn of 1983, was for
the MS-DOS operating system and had the distinction of introducing
the mouse to a broad population. Word 1.0 could be purchased with a
bundled mouse, though none was required. Following the precedents of
LisaWrite and MacWrite, Word for Macintosh attempted to add closer
WYSIWYG features into its package. Word for Mac was released in 1985.
Word for Mac was the first graphical version of Microsoft Word.
