Choosing an Office Application

The following table shows you the purpose of each Office application and the type of document you might create with it. The tasks performed by the Office applications fall into several general categories, such as word processing and database management, though in many cases you'll find that you can best solve a particular problem by using more than one program. You'll learn considerably more about each of these programs as you work through the chapters in this book.
