Sophisticated Functions It has the ability to check words in a document against a preprogrammed dictionary and indicate words that do not match and therefore might be mispelled.

12. Programming Functions Since WP is really a specialized computer, most WPs can also be designed to be programmable and perform non-word processing tasks involving conventional data processing. Many WPs can accept instructions in programming languages.
