Word processing is the act of putting text, and in some cases graphics, on a page, whether printed or digital. "What is word processing, anyway?" some may be asking. That is a mindset that I hope to quash with this chapter, because, truth be told, Microsoft released Word for Mac several years before it did for Windows!

But when something so seemingly arcane as word processing is mentioned, usually a Windows-based PC running Microsoft Word is the first thing that pops into most people's thoughts. When most folks think of a Mac, terms like "multimedia," "graphics," "movies," "photos," "music," and the like are what generally come to mind.
