Microsoft Office incorporates a whole bunch of applications and applets, but the main reason people buy and use it are the big two: Word and Excel. Along with them come a couple of others that are used by an increasing number of people who may not have planned to do so initially PowerPoint and Outlook.

Word is an incredibly powerful word processor. It provides users with the ability to create anything from a simple note to complex reports and legal documents, and everything in between.

Excel is a sophisticated spreadsheet program. It includes integrated graphing capabilities and has a significant collection of built-in financial, statistical, and mathematical functions.

PowerPoint builds and displays presentations. Like the other applications, its abilities range from simple to complex it offers everything from straightforward slides with a few bullet points and some text to full multimedia shows.

Outlook is harder to describe because it has a little of everything. For some, it s simply a mail client. For others, it s a calendar and to-do list. It also incorporates an address book, a journal, a notebook, and lots of opportunities to customize.
