Answer 3

1a.Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word

Aside from Microsoft Windows, you would probably need to have another software suite from Microsoft called Microsoft Office. In it, the two most commonly used applications are Word and Excel.

Word is word processing application that is used to write documents like letters or essays where text formatting is very essential to provide a printable document that can be read very easily. Excel, on the other hand, is a spreadsheet application where you can input data in tables in the pattern you choose. From the table, you can deduce or calculate how the information is related to each other and you can even create graphs to visually represent the said relationship.

Both applications can create printable documents and it is therefore possible to use one to simulate the function of the other to some extent. You can insert tables in a Word document or write whole paragraphs inside a single Excel cell. But each application has strengths that makes them well suited to the tasks they perform. The font, paragraph, and page formatting options of Word makes it easy to create documents that are free flowing and conversational, which is quite difficult in Excel. A feature of Excel that a lot of users find to be very convenient is its ability to analyze and compute formulas and conditional statements. This capability allows users to create pre formatted documents that only need certain data and derives the rest. This can be as simple as the sum of all the entered data, taking their average, to even more complex equations. You would not find this type of capability within Word.

Summary:

1.Word is a word processing application while Excel is a spreadsheet application

2.You usually use Word in writing letters or essays while Excel is good for creating documents that has a lot of data that needs to be presented in table form

3.You can insert Excel tables inside a Word document

4.Excel lacks some advanced formatting abilities that are present in Word

5.You can write custom equations and formulas in Excel but not in Word

Answer 4

Both are very important and easy to work with. They both come in handy when it comes to work, school or organizations. Right now my Computer Applications class is working with both and I think that Excel is a very fun way of keeping data organized

1) Word is for writing a business plan to send to venture capitalists, describing the business you want to start. 2) Excel is for doing the financial analysis showing them how your business will be profitable. 3) PowerPoint is for giving the venture capitalists a presentation (think digital slide show) to persuade them to fund your business startup. 4) Access is for storing all your business data, and providing a convenient way to enter and retrieve that data. They are all very big programs with huge feature sets, and there is some overlap. For example, you can do a table in word, though you can't have formulas in the table cells as you can with Excel. You can do simple data storage in Excel, though if your business is successful you'll probably outgrow Excel's data storage & retrieval abilities and move to Access. 5-7) Answers to these questions would be the size of a large book, but to be brief: -- Word is mostly about text documents. -- Excel is mostly about numerical analysis (number crunching). -- PowerPoint is mostly about digital slide shows. -- Access is mostly about data entry, storage, and retrieval. Another way of looking at it is what they generally replaced (and went way beyond) from before computers, though this is a gross oversimplification: -- Word generally replaced (and went way beyond) typewriters. -- Excel generally replaced (and went way beyond) calculators. -- PowerPoint generally replaced (and went way beyond) slide shows. -- Access generally replaced (and went way beyond) card files. A good way to get acquainted with these programs and the differences between them is Microsoft's "Getting Started With..." tutorials. Your library probably has these tutorials if you don't want to buy them. Greg
