Microsoft Word is a word processing application developed by Microsoft and first released on the Mac in 1985. The word processor differentiates itself from text editors like Notes by providing a more powerful platform with advanced features such as spell checking, embedding objects like charts, inserting pictures and even merging data from databases.
