This project reports on the design and implementation of AjaxWordPro, a multi-user web-based word processor using the Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) technique. This technique creates web pages that are more responsive than traditional web applications by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded.

Free text corresponds to unformatted text. Free text seems to be a powerful way of communication, because our day-to-day activity of sending emails, blogging and instant messaging involves free text. A text editor is a program used for editing plain text files. Documents created by a word processor generally contain file-format-specific “control characters” that enable text formatting. Commonly used single-user interactive text-editor applications include Notepad and Emacs, and word-processor applications include Microsoft Office Word and OpenOffice Writer.

People also need groupware applications to perform collaborative or group tasks People need to collaborate with each other to work on the same document to get things done quickly and efficiently. A collaborative multi-user word processor allows several people to edit a document at the same time using different computers .
