Can someone break down MS OFFICE? |
What are the main MS OFFICE programs and what are they used for? Word - is used for letters, reports, flyers, envelopes Excel - spreadsheets can be used to perform calculations, make charts Powerpoint - used for making slideshow presentations Access - database program. This is the main program I use. Access can hold a ton of data and return datasets you ask for, make reports, run functions, perform calculations, etc. Outlook - email, calendar The programs all work together. For example, if you were putting together a list of dvds your friends own, they could send them to you in an Excel spreadsheet with columns for the title, actors, genre. You could import those spreadsheets into Access as tables. If you wanted to have a Tom Cruise movie night, you would write and Access query that would show you all of the Tom Cruise movies listed in your database. Then you could email yourself the list through Outlook. If you are unfamiliar with the programs, pick up a copy of "Office for Dummies." It's a good overview of each program. If you are a student, you can purchase a low cost version of Office as well. The 3 ms office programs you would likely use is ms word, ms powerpoint and ms excel MS word - its like a word processing program for creating any kind of documents MS powerpoint - It is used to create slideshows which may have text graphics and audio MS excel - it is useful for creating spreadsheets and can include mathematical formulas useful for balance sheet or financial reports. Other programs include MS access, MS Infopath, MS Visio, MS Project etc. Hope the link below may help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/microsoft_o... |
