Section 12.1 Microsoft Word
At this point in your academic career, you are likely acquainted with at least one word processor. Many computers come with a license for Microsoft Word 1 and those that do not may use Apple Pages 2 or LibreOffice Writer 3 (both of which are free), among others.

If you are looking for a word processor, it’s best to try out different ones and use the one that works best for you.
