The Word test models common tasks when working with documents in Microsoft Word.
Implementation
The test design is similar to the PCMark 10 Writing test.
Workloads
The Word test simulates typical tasks when working with Microsoft Word, such as opening, editing, and saving a document. The workload performs the following tasks:
- Start Microsoft Word
- Load Document 1, display in a window
- Load Document 2, display in a window
- Copy a large part of Document 1 and paste into Document 2
- Save As Document 2
- Resize Document 2 window
- Cut and paste parts of Document 2 within the document
- Save Document 2
- Type some text in Document 2
- Save Document 2
- Insert some pictures from a local drive in Document 2
- Save Document 2 after every inserted image
The test measures the time it takes to start, load, edit, save, and add pictures.
Start Microsoft Word = geomean (M_1,M_2,M_3) Where: M_1 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_start_0 M_2 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_start_1 M_3 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_start_2
Load Microsoft Word = geomean (M_1,M_2,M_3,M_4,M_5,M_6) Where: M_1 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_load_source_0 M_2 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_load_source_1 M_3 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_load_source_2 M_4 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_load_destination_0 M_5 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_load_destination_1 M_6 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_load_destination_2

Save document = geomean (M_1,M_2,M_3,M_4,M_5,M_6,M_7) Where: M_1 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_save_as_first M_2 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_save_second M_3 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_save_0 M_4 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_save_1 M_5 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_save_2 M_6 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_save_3 M_7 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_save_4
Resize document = M_1 - M_2 - M_3 - M_4 Where: M_1 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_resize_total M_2 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_resize_frame_min M_3 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_resize_frame_max_0 M_4 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_resize_frame_max_1
Cut and paste = geomean (M_1,M_2,M_3,M_4,M_5,M_6,M_7) Where: M_1 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_cut_paste_0 M_2 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_cut_paste_1 M_3 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_cut_paste_2 M_4 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_cut_paste_3 M_5 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_cut_paste_4 M_6 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_cut_paste_5 M_7 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_cut_paste_6
Type text = M Where: M = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_type_text_chars
Add image to document = geomean(M_1,M_2,M_3,M_4,M_5) Where: M_1 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_0 M_2 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_1 M_3 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_2 M_4 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_3 M_5 = dbg_pcm10_microsoft_word_add_image_4
Scoring
The Word test uses a geomean of the workload results to calculate the overall score.
Microsoft Word score = K × 1 / geomean(R_1,R_2,R_3,R_4,R_5,R_6,R_7,R_8) Where: K = scoring coefficient = 3763
