What is Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is word processing software. It is developed by Microsoft and is part of Microsoft Office Suite. It enables you to create, edit and save professional documents like letters and reports.

Brief History:

Microsoft word was released in 1983 as Multi-Tool Word. Its first version was based on the framework of Bravo which was world's first graphical writing program.

Microsoft renamed Multi Tool Word to Microsoft Word, and then in October 1983, Microsoft released its first version for the IBM PC.

In 1985, Microsoft ported it to the Macintosh which was different from its DOS-based counterpart, i.e. Macintosh offered various major interface changes.

In 1989, Microsoft released a new version of Word for its Windows operating systems. It was the Microsoft Word who introduced the concept of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), i.e. it allowed to create and display bold and italics text.

In 2014, Microsoft developed the source code for Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a.

Save As: This command helps you save a new file with a desired file name to a desired location on the hard drive.


Print: This command is used to print a hard copy of the currently open document.


Prepare: This command allows you to prepare the document for distribution, i.e. you can view and edit the document properties and inspect the hidden metadata.

Memory Hierarchy

Memory Hierarchy A memory unit is an essential component in any digital computer since it is needed for storing programs and data. Typically, a memory unit can be classified into two categories: The memory unit that establishes direct communication with the CPU is called  Main Memory . The main memory is often referred to as RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory units that provide backup storage are called  Auxiliary Memory . For instance, magnetic disks and magnetic tapes are the most commonly used auxiliary memories. Apart from the basic classifications of a memory unit, the memory hierarchy consists all of the storage devices available in a computer system ranging from the slow but high-capacity auxiliary memory to relatively faster main memory. The following image illustrates the components in a typical memory hierarchy. Auxiliary Memory Auxiliary memory is known as the lowest-cost, highest-capacity and slowest-access storage in a computer system....

CLASS-11 (Python Programming Language)

  Python Programming Language Python is a high-leve l, general-purpose and a very popular programming language. Python programming language (latest Python 3) is being used in web development, Machine Learning applications, along with all cutting edge technology in Software Industry. Python Programming Language is very well suited for Beginners, also for experienced programmers with other programming languages like C++ and Java. Below are some facts about Python Programming Language: Python is currently the most widely used multi-purpose, high-level programming language. Python allows programming in Object-Oriented and Procedural paradigms. Python programs generally are smaller than other programming languages like Java. Programmers have to type relatively less and indentation requirement of the language, makes them readable all the time. Python language is being used by almost all tech-giant companies like – Google, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Uber… etc. The biggest stren...

Python For Loop ( Class 11)

  Note:- Read it Carefully: Python Loops The flow of the programs written in any programming language is sequential by default. Sometimes we may need to alter the flow of the program.  The execution of a specific code may need to be repeated several numbers of times. For this purpose, The programming languages provide various types of loops which are capable of repeating some specific code several numbers of times.  Consider the following diagram to understand the working of a loop statement. Why we use loops in python? The looping simplifies the complex problems into the easy ones.  It enables us to alter the flow of the program so that instead of writing the same code again and again, we can repeat the same code for a finite number of times.  For example, if we need to print the first 10 natural numbers then, instead of using the print statement 10 times, we can print inside a loop which runs up to 10 iterations . Advantages of loops There are the following ad...
