Most but not all software has generic features. Generic features are those of software that are found not in just one type of software but are common in most types of applications software. Most of these features are included as part of the software in order to help a user enter and format the text to maximise the clarity of the material and to improve the physical appearance.A few examples of Generic Features of Software.
- Copy and paste copies text and then puts it into a different place in the same document or a completely different document.
- Font type is the shape of the text. Examples include Times New Roman and Arial.
- Font style includes bold, italics and underlined.
- Drag and Drop means clicking on a virtual object such as a file, photograph, piece of clip art, etc... and dragging it into position.
- Most software has undo which allows you to reverse an action.
- Page breaks determine where one page ends and a new page starts.
- Applications software can insert page numbers on multi-page documents.
