The functions of a word processor program fall somewhere between those of a simple text editor and a fully functioned desktop publishing program. While the distinction between a text editor and a word processor is clear—namely the capability of editing rich text—the distinctions between a word processor and a desktop publishing program has become unclear as word processing software has gained features such as ligature support added to the 2010 version of Microsoft Word.[1][2]
Common word processor programs include LibreOffice Writer, Microsoft Word, local/offline applications, and Google Docs, an online application.
