Question

differentiate between a text editor and a word processor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A word processor is a more extensive text editor. A text editor is used solely to write and edit text. You can copy, cut, paste, undo and redo. ... A word processor allows you to edit text in addition to multiple other functionalities such as text formatting (italic, bold, underline, etc.).

Answer 2

Answer:

A text editor (like notepad) is where you simply make some quick changes to the text. you can't do much formatting with text editors, but they are great tools to write out HTML code.

A word processor (like MS Word) has a plethora of options with which you can format your text. You can insert special symbols, colors, line spacing and a whole lot of other things that you can't do with a normal text editor.

So if you want to do some quick typing and quick changes, text editors are the best. But if you want to do some detailed formatting or editing, pick a work processor.
