DEVELOPING ICT CONTENT FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES Application Software It is a single or group of programs that allow access for specific tasks to be performed. It is useful for reports containing 3 features  Textual  Numerical   The official first piece of software to be written was created with punch cards, and it calculated the greatest divisor of 2 to the power of 18. It took 52 minutes to complete the calculation! This achievement led to a boom in software development, including the creation of the first programming language, TECHNIQUES IN EMPOWERING USERS APPLICATION SOFTWARE Mail Merge Custom Animation and Timing Hyperlinking Integrating Images and external material Embedded Files data Advanced and conflict formulas and computation PARTS OF THE WORD PROCESSING DOCUMENT 1.
