A word processing function is an essential part of any [[office suite]], and may be provided as a stand-alone program (for example Word in [[Microsoft Office]]) or as a function of a more general program (for example [[LibreOffice Writer]] in [[LibreOffice]]) or other (for example

TextMaker in [[SoftMaker]]). With the emergence of the internet, different cloud-based word processor programs began to emerge, as [[Google Docs]] which allow people to work faster and more efficiently.
