One of the jobs of a Scientist as I joined ICAR-NIRJAFT Kolkata way back in 1976 was typing of papers for publications. Typing in mechanicl type writer was tedious, if you made a mistake you have to type the whole page again. Then came the electronic type writer, which had limited editing facility as well as saving the documents. Gradually Computer was introduced way back in late eighties. First word star was the processing soft ware, the 1st paper I typed was in ward star, soon ward perfect was intoduced. That time early ninety I was told by my colleagues back from IIT that word was the latest soft ware. Since then there has been no looking back and till now we are using word for word processing.
My advantage was I knew how to type which I learnt in a commercial type school in Delhi just after finishing M Sc.
