Question
I was going to start going into c ++  because I thought it was used to make programs like MSword.

Can you use c++ to make or program  PC games to???

Or is it just for making programs like  coreldraw  and  msword? What other things can I do with c++???

Answer
Sure, use google to search game programming in c++ to find web sites. Use google books to find books. C and C++ are the most flexible programming languages because, if needed, they can interact with PC hardware. Other languages, like Java, or any of the dot net languages have an intermediate layer between the program you write and the machine. Always remember to start with the simplest games. I have no real experience with game programming, but I believe it can get quite complex very fast. Good luck.
