Text editors
•A text editor is a computer program that lets a user enter, change, store, and usually print text
(characters and numbers, each encoded by the computer and its input and output devices, arranged to
have meaning to users or to other programs).*
•Typically, a text editor provides an "empty" display screen (or "scrollable page") with a
fixed-line length and visible line numbers. You can then fill the lines in with text, line by
line.*
•The word processor has replaced the typewriter as a way to generate print writing, and features
items like margins, spell check and fonts which accommodate different types of presentation for
letters, documents, etc.**

that they retain their sequence.
