Repeating unnecessary tasks can reduce productivity and turn simple tasks into dreaded chores. Computer software programs simplify many aspects of life by automating processes for their owners. For example, the Microsoft Word program allows users to create professional documents containing formatted text and high-quality graphics in a variety of styles. Microsoft Word can also save time and reduce keystrokes by allowing you to repeat text and graphics throughout a document.
