For programming questions related to Microsoft's "Word" editor. Questions on general usage of the editor are off-topic for Stack Overflow; they should be asked on Super User instead.
Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents.
It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), the AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1986), SCO UNIX, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows (1989).
While it is a component of the ms-office system, ms-word is also sold as a standalone product. The current versions are Microsoft Word 2016 for Windows, Word Online (Office 365), and 2016 for Mac.
This is a generic tag for the Word family of products, and it is expected that questions using this tag relate to Word programming. Use version-specific tags to indicate the version you are programming against.
