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:

  1. Start Microsoft Word
  2. Load Document 1, display in a window 
  3. Load Document 2, display in a window 
  4. Copy a large part of Document 1 and paste into Document 2 
  5. Save As Document 2 
  6. Resize Document 2 window 
  7. Cut and paste parts of Document 2 within the document 
  8. Save Document 2 
  9. Type some text in Document 2 
  10. Save Document 2 
  11. Insert some pictures from a local drive in Document 2 
  12. Save Document 2 after every inserted image

The test measures the time it takes to start, load, edit, save, and add pictures.

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
