Software for writing documents
1. Microsoft Word is the most widely used software for writing documents. The file size is often large and it contains a number of rarely used features. One of the reasons it is widely used is that it is easy to exchange and share documents. It contains a large number of templates, letter formats and a resume builder.
2. Notepad and Wordpad can be used for simple letters which do not require much formatting. The files are stored in text format
3. Microsoft Publisher is better for flyers and pamphlets. It allows the user to add clip art and move pictures around easily. Both Microsoft Publisher and Word are available at most computer stores.
4. Open Office – is a free office suite. However, it is not very widely used so far.
