Features of Standard Word Processors
Word processors that support only these features (and maybe a few others) are called text
editors. Most word processors, however, support additional features that enable you to
manipulate and format documents in more sophisticated ways. These more advanced word
processors are sometimes called full-featured word processors. Full-featured word processors
usually support the following features:
•
File management: 
many word processors contain file management capabilities
that allow you to create, delete, move, and search for files.
•
Font specifications:
allows you to change fonts within a document. For
example, you can specify bold, italics, and underlining. Most word processors
also let you change the font size and even the typeface.
•
Footnotes and cross-references:
automates the numbering and placement
of footnotes and enables you to easily cross-reference other sections of the
document.
•
Graphics graphics: 
allows you to embed illustrations and graphs into a
document. Some word processors let you create the illustrations within the word
processor; others let you insert an illustration produced by a different program.
