What is a word processor?

A word processor is a computer program that provides special capabilities beyond that of a text editor. The term originated to distinguish editors that were "easy to use" from conventional text editors, and to suggest that the program was more than just an "editor." In general, word processors screen the user from structural or printer-formatting markup. Modern word processors are WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) user interface.
