MS-WORD:

Microsoft Word is an example of a program called a “word processor.” Word processors are used to create and print text documents in much the same way that you would use a typewriter. The key benefit to using a word processor is that you can make changes easily, including correcting spelling; adding, deleting, formatting, and relocating text; and inserting images. Once you create a document, you can effortlessly print it (as many copies as you want!), save it for later modifications, or send it to a friend via e-mail. Microsoft Word is a very powerful word processor

MS Excel:

Microsoft Excel is an example of a program called a “spreadsheet.” Spreadsheets are used to organize real world data, such as a check register or a rolodex. Data can be numerical or alphanumeric (involving letters or numbers). The key benefit to using a spreadsheet program is that you can make changes easily, including correcting spelling or values, adding, deleting, formatting, and relocating data. You can also program the spreadsheet to perform certain functions automatically (such as addition and subtraction), and a spreadsheet can hold almost limitless amounts of data—a whole filing cabinet’s worth of information can be included in a single spreadsheet. Once you create a spreadsheet, you can effortlessly print it (as many copies as you want!), save it for later modifications, or send it to a colleague via e-mail. Microsoft Excel is a very powerful calculator
