What kind of software is word?

Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:

Microsoft Word is an office application type software, within the category: word/text processors. It is a commercial software (proprietary software), that is, the license must be purchased in order to use it. It is closed source, since the programming code is not available to the community.

To better understand the answer, I suggest reviewing the important definitions:

– Word processor

– App

– Office automation

– Proprietary Software

– Closed source
