It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems.[3] [4] [5] Versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), SCO UNIX, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows (1989). It is a component of the Microsoft Office system; however, it is also sold as a standalone product and included in Microsoft Microsoft Word 2 Works Suite. Beginning with the 2003 version, the branding was revised to emphasize Word's identity as a component within the Office suite; Microsoft began calling it Microsoft Office Word instead of merely Microsoft Word. The latest releases are Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac OS X, while Word 2007 can also be run emulated on Linux[6] . There are commercially available add-ins that expand the functionality of Microsoft Word. History Word 1981 to 1989 Concepts and ideas of Word were brought from Bravo, the original GUI writing word processor developed at Xerox PARC.[7] [8] On February 1, 1983, development on what was originally named Multi-Tool Word began.

    TII - File Types and Word Processor Compatibility To submit a paper to Turnitin, the paper must meet their requirements. Turnitin currently accepts the following file types: 1. Microsoft Word® (.doc / .docx)* 2. OpenOffice (.odt)** 3. WordPerfect® (.wpd) 4. PostScript (.ps/.eps) 5. Adobe® PDF 6. HTML 7. Rich text format (.rtf) 8. Plain text (.txt) 9. Hangul Word Processor file (.hwp) The paper being submitted must contain more than 20 words, must be under 20MB (or approximately two million characters), must not exceed 400 pages in length, and must not contain spaces in between every letter (l i k e t h i s). Please note that TII does not support: 1. Microsoft Works (.wps) file types. 2. Apple Pages file types. 3. Spreadsheets (ex. Excel files) or PowerPoint files. 4. PDF files of images, or PDF files which do not contain highlightable text (ex. a "scanned" file, which is often simply a picture of text, is unacceptable). Therefore, if an unsupported word processor is being used, you may need to save the file as a TXT or RTF file in order to upload to Turnitin. *Note: TII does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 macros-enabled (.docm) files (they do accept the standard .docx files). Whatever macro is encoded in the file is stripped away when submitted to Turnitin. For example, when using a "letter replacement macro," TII strips the macro from the Wordfile, and whatever characters the student originally had in the file will appear (ex. "a~"). Also, TII does NOT accept password-protected files. **Note: Turnitin will not accept .odt files created and downloaded from Google Docs online.

However, Microsoft was not the only software company to profit from the PC-software boom: firms like AutoDesk, Lotus Development, WordPerfect Corp., Ashton-Tate, Novell, Borland, Adobe Systems, Aldus, Symantec, and the Santa Cruz Operation all had their time in the sun.

Sci. , 4(7S)185-192, 2014 ISSN: 2090-4274 Journal of Applied Environmental © 2014, TextRoad Publication and Biological Sciences www.textroad.com Urdu Word Processor – Standards and Guidelines Uzair Muhammad, S. Tahir Ali Jan, M. Shahid Sultan, M. Naeem Faculty of Computing, Riphah International University at Islamabad Received: September 1, 2014 Accepted: November 13, 2014 ABSTRACT Transliteration and word processing in Urdu is becoming under limelight in the last decade. Though there has been an immense addition of word processing features in contemporary word processors for English but as far as Urdu word processing is concerned, the researchers are seen mostly at the side of finding single aspect resolutions or optimization of Urdu language processing problems but tactlessly they give their integration (as one single text editing solution) a very less significance. Integrated solutions for the fulfillment of modern Urdu content editing needs are found to be very fewer and feeble at present. Because of having no compact word processing solution to retort present-day Urdu word processing needs, there is a great need for an Urdu word processor that could be able to justify the contemporary text editing needs of people who can read and write Urdu language.This paper presents features and requirements for a state of the art Unicode based Urdu word processor described as per the present day necessities. It also considers the comparative analysis of the present day word processing solutions, their blemishes, and their strengths over each other and what more can be done in this area to promote Urdu word processing would be described in this paper as well.
