WP Software: Satisfying OA Market Needs

Article Abstract:

The industry currently offers two choices for meeting word processing (WP) needs: the dedicated word processor and microcomputer WP software. The microcomputer approach is gaining popularity due to flexibility and low cost. When making the decision between a dedicated WP or microcomputer software capability, the need for shared resources, ergonomics, training, support and basic features should be analyzed. If a WP software package is needed, functionality, ease of use, flexibility, documentation, support, hardware limitations and printer support should be considered. A demonstration aimed at individual needs is helpful. A sample screen display of a typical word processing software package is included.

WP Hardware: Vendors Must 'Adapt or Perish'

Article Abstract:

Technological changes have drastically affected word processing vendors. Stand-alone dedicated word processors are being forced into obsolescence by multipurpose equipment and integrated systems. Vendors now offer workstations rather than word processors. Photographs with brief descriptions of new systems are included. A chart compares word processing hardware.
