Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Windows and Word were both created by Microsoft, it makes sense that they would want to push Windows users to use Word as their word processing software. You might have heard of other word processing software such as Google Docs, LibreOffice, WordPerfect and Apple Pages. Even though these are powerful full featured word processing programs, they are nowhere near as popular as Microsoft Word.If you have Word installed on your computer, you most likely have other Microsoft programs such as Excel and PowerPoint installed as well since most of the time, people buy Word as part of the Microsoft Office suite of apps even though it is possible to buy Word as a standalone product.Speaking of Office, you might have heard or read about Office 365. This is Microsoft's subscription-based Office suite that you can use online via your web browser and also as installed programs on your computer. You pay yearly for the subscription but that gets you all the updates for all the Office software as they come out. There is also a free version of Word and other Office apps you can use online called Office for the Web but it's not as powerful as the Office 365 version yet can be just fine for many users.In this book I will be using the desktop version of Word which most people prefer since it's a bit easier to use and you don't need to worry about storing documents "in the cloud" unless you really want to since it will be an option for you. Once you get the hang of the desktop version of Word, you should also be able to apply your knowledge to the online version and adapt just fine.
