It was originally written by richard brodie in 1983 for IBM computers running DOS. Subsequent versions can run on Apple Macintosh (1984), SCO UNIX and Microsoft Windows (1989) and become a part of Microsoft Office.
Word provides users with tools to create professional and elegant documents, which helps users save time and obtain elegant and beautiful results.
All along, Microsoft Office Word? Is the most popular word processing program.
As the core program of Office suite, Word provides many simple and easy-to-use document creation tools, and also provides a rich set of functions for creating complex documents. Even if you only use Word to apply a little text formatting or image processing, a simple document is more attractive than using only plain text.

8 1 to 89
Bravo is a graphical user interface text editor developed for Xerox PARC, and many concepts and ideas in it have been introduced into Microsoft Word. Charles Simonyi, the founder of Bravo, joined Microsoft at 198 1 after leaving PARC. Simonyi, who developed Bravo with him, hired Brodie, so he left PARC that summer.
The first generation of Word developed for MS-DOS computer was released at the end of 1983, but the response was not good, and its sales fell behind rival products such as WordPerfect. Nevertheless, in the Macintosh system, Word won wide acceptance after the release of 1985, especially the second large-scale release of Word 3.01for Macintosh two years later (Word 3.00 was quickly removed from the shelves due to serious bugs). Like other Mac software, Word for Mac is a real (what you see is what you get) editor.
As MS-DOS is a character interface system, Word for DOS is the first text editor developed for IBMPC. When editing, font identifiers such as "bold" and "italics" are displayed directly on the screen instead of "what you see is what you get". Other DOS text editors, such as WordStar and WordPerfect, use simple text display with identification code or color difference when displaying on the screen.
However, like most DOS software, programs have their own special and usually complex command groups, which users need to remember to perform specific functions. (For example, in Word for DOS, Escape-T-S is needed to save files), but most secretaries can already use WordPerfect, so the company is reluctant to switch to rival products, and the new advantages provided are limited.
90 to 95
The first Windows version of Word costs 1989 and $500. One year after the release of Windows 3.0, sales began to improve. Windows 3.0？ Collaboration is better than previous versions). The failure to develop a Windows version of WordPerfect proved to be a fatal mistake. It is a version of Word 2.0, but it has developed steadily as the mainstream of the market.
Word has no strong competitor in the Mac market, although some programs like Nisus Writer provide functions such as "discontinuous selection", which were not added until Word 2002 in Office XP. In addition, some users complained that Word did not check the 3.0 1 version of 1987 and the 5.0 version of 199 1. Compared with ease of use and special functions, Word 5. 1 of Mac is the mainstream word processor because of its elegance. However, the 6.0 version of Mac released by 1994 was widely ridiculed. This is the first version of Word based on the common code between Windows and MAC. Many people complain that it is slow, rough and takes up too much memory. Windows version is also included in 6.0 to coordinate product naming for different platforms (although the earliest version of Windows is Word 2.0).
Subsequent versions of Word have more functions than word processing. Drawing tools can perform simple desktop publishing operations, such as adding images to documents. Added collaboration, document proofreading, multilingual support and other functions.
Microsoft Word 97
The main operating interface of Word 97 is the same as the newer version of Word 2000. This is the first version to add Office Assistant. "Big Eye Clip" (replaceable) is an animation assistant used in all Office programs. This is the successor of the Microsoft Bob concept introduced earlier.
Microsoft Word 98
The Macintosh version of Word 98 adds many functions and is sold together with Macintosh Office 98. The file compatibility reaches the same level as Office 97, and makes Word a viable commercial substitute for Windows on Mac. However, Word (and Excel) on Mac may be destroyed by macro virus, which may lead to a unique cross-platform virus situation. Windows version only integrates the Japanese/Korean version of Microsoft Office 97, replacing Word 97, and cannot be sold separately.
Microsoft Word 2000
For most users, one of the most obvious changes in Word 2000 (and other Office 2000 components) is the addition of multiple clipboards, which can save the contents that have been copied/cut many times. Another significant change is that the office assistants who often appear uninvited in Word 97 have become less frequent.
Microsoft Word 200 1
Word 200 1 was integrated in Macintosh Office and released in 2000 10. Word 200 1 also has a separate version. The Mac version of Word X was released on 200 1, which is the first version that supports (and needs) Mac OS X locally.
Microsoft Word 2002/XP
Word 2002 was released with Office XP on 200 1. It is similar to the functional version of Word 2000, but the function of "task pane" is added to provide a lot of information and functional features that appeared in the dialog box in the past more quickly. An important advertising strategy is to delete the Office Assistant to support the new help system, although it is only disabled by default.
