Programs that run on a computer. Word-processing software includes programs that enable writers to compose, edit, store, and print material. Professional quality software packages incorporate such amenities as databases that can feed the results of research electronically into the final manuscript, alphabetization and indexing functions, and capabilities for constructing tables and charts and adding graphics to the body of the manuscript. Software should be appropriate to both the demands of the work at hand and the requirements of the publisher (which may contract for a manuscript suitable for on-disk editing and electronic design, composition, and typesetting).

Software is programs while hardware is the actual tangible things on your computer (mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc). An example of software is MS word, Internet Explorer, MS Paint.

Well, let's see:
Software is so soft that if you squish it really tight, you can get it into a very small head.
Hardware is another story. It's usually already present and being used by a person with a small head, even if they don't know.

Software is a generic term for a program that processes data...so generically speaking it processes data...more specifically a program is simply a set of instructions on how to process data.
