Microsoft Word was one of the original commercial word processors for desktop computers and after more than 30 years of development has become the standard tool for creating and sharing business documents and for performing basic desktop publishing. Word supports the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language for creating macros that can be used for applications such as Excel-like charting from within Word. VBA can retrieve data from external sources and lets you add controls to make Word documents interactive. New versions of Word steadily add to the immense feature set for document formatting, and the most recent releases have significantly improved the platform's support for collaboration, web-based access to files, document exchange, file recovery, and security.

Microsoft Word 2007, includes important improvements in document editing and reviewing tools, collaboration and document sharing, and program recovery. Some of the highlights of the new edition of Microsoft Word are:
New Editing and Reviewing Tools. The new Fluent user interface presents tools to you in a clear and organized fashion. You can select from galleries of predefined styles, table formats, list formats, and graphical effects. The Fluent user interface eliminates the guesswork when you apply formatting to your document. The galleries of formatting choices give you a live visual preview of the formatting in your document before you commit to making a change.
Spelling Checker is More Consistent Across All 2007 Microsoft Office Programs. In addition to sharing the same custom dictionaries, all programs can manage them by using the same dialog box. Several spelling checker options are now global. If you change one of these options in one Office program, that option is also changed for all the other Office programs.
More Efficient Document Sharing. When you compare and combine documents, you can see both versions of the document — with the deleted, inserted, and moved text clearly marked in a third version of the document. Before you share your document with other people, you can use the Document Inspector to check the document for hidden metadata, personal information, or content that may be stored in the document. The Document Inspector can find and remove information such as comments, versions, tracked changes, ink annotations, document properties, document management server information, hidden text, custom XML data, and information in headers and footers. The Document Inspector can help you ensure that the documents you share with other people do not contain any hidden personal information or any hidden content that your organization might not want distributed. Additionally, your organization can customize the Document Inspector to add checks for additional types of hidden content.
More File Formats for Exporting Documents. Office Word 2007 supports exporting your file to Portable Document Format (PDF) and XML Paper Specification (XPS) format.
Better XML Support. You can create dynamic smart documents that update themselves by using new document controls and data binding to connect to your back-end systems. You can use the Document Information Panel to view and edit both standard Microsoft Office document properties and properties for files that are saved to a document management server. If you use the Document Information Panel to edit the document properties for a server document, the updated properties will be saved directly to the server.
New Office Diagnostics. Microsoft Office Diagnostics is a series of diagnostic tests that can help you to discover why your computer is crashing. The diagnostic tests can solve some problems directly and may identify ways that you can solve other problems. Microsoft Office Diagnostics replaces the Microsoft Office 2003 features Detect and Repair, and Microsoft Office Application Recovery.
Enhanced Program Recovery. Office Word 2007 has improved capabilities to help avoid losing work when the program closes abnormally. Whenever possible, Word tries to recover some aspects of the state of the program after Word restarts.
Microsoft Office Word 2010 incorporates enhancements over the Word 2007 version in the areas of document formatting, management and security, collaboration, and support for remote and mobile users.
