===================
1) Introduction
===================

Microsoft Word is a word processor developed by Microsoft. It was first released on October 25, 1983[3]
under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems.[4][5][6] Subsequent versions were later written for several
other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh running Mac OS (1985), AT&T Unix PC (1985),
Atari ST (1988), OS/2 (1989), Microsoft Windows (1989) and SCO Unix (1994). Commercial versions of Word are licensed
as a standalone product or as a component of Microsoft Office, Windows RT or the discontinued Microsoft Works suite.
Microsoft Word Viewer and Office Online are Freeware editions of Word with limited features.

3) Technical details
