History[change | change source]
The program was first released in 1981.Many of the ideas and features in Microsoft Word came from Bravo, the first graphical writing program.Microsoft bought the Bravo program, and changed its name to Microsoft Word.When it first came out, it was not very popular, and did not sell as well as other writing programs like WordPerfect.Although it was not very popular when it came out, it had a feature called WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), which meant that people can change the visual style of writing (e.g. bold, italics), by clicking on buttons, when in other programs like WordPerfect, people had to add special 'codes' to change the style of writing. WYSIWYG is now a common feature of all computer writing programs.

Without configuration the program saved the document in a proprietary file format, so other programs could not open it. When the user sent his document to a friend, the friend needed a copy of Microsoft Word to read the document. Then that friend would probably also save documents in the same secret format of Word. This gave Microsoft Word a dominant position.
