Papers, or documents, are written or printed materials that convey information. They can take various forms, such as reports, letters, contracts, or academic articles. Papers are often used for communication, record-keeping, and sharing knowledge in both personal and professional settings. Documents can be physical, like sheets of paper, or digital, existing as files on computers or online. They typically include text, images, and sometimes graphs or tables to present data clearly. Common software for creating and editing documents includes Microsoft Word and Google Docs, which allow users to format and organize their content effectively.
