When I started working in 2011, we had a file share we published documents to called “word processing”. It was called that because the one file share was the only remains of the previous word processing department, which was presumably staffed by word processors.
Written by someone with the job title of word processor, something that did not exist 10 years before this was written.

I was a kid at the time and somehow I’m not remembering what a word processor (as a profession) actually did.
A word processor was a software application like WordStar or WordPro, which you used to create documents.
