Microsoft Word 2010 is the most popular word-processing application
Word-processing can be defined as writing, editing, and production of documents, letters, reports, and books, through the use of a computer program or a complete computer system designed to facilitate rapid and efficient manipulation of text.
Word has become the standard word-processor for creating and formatting documents of all types. As the word-processing needs of the consumer have evolved so has Microsoft Word. The days of word-processing software that will only let you type in information and do some simple formatting are gone. Word can handle almost any type of text or graphics you want to work with.

Microsoft Excel 2010 is an electronic spreadsheet program that can be used for storing, organizing and manipulating numbers and data.
Many new users to Excel want to know why they would use Excel to type in information or numbers rather than use the more widely known Word software. The answer is easy…Calculations.
Excel
15
Excel is a spreadsheet application and we can define spreadsheet as a document that stores data in a grid of horizontal rows and vertical columns.
Rows are typically labeled using numbers, Columns are labeled with letters. Individual row/column locations, such as C3
or B12, are referred to as cells. Each cell can each store a unique instance of
data.

Data Types, Formulas, and Functions The types of data that a cell can hold include numbers, text or formulas. Formulas are
used for calculations usually involving data contained in other cells. Excel and other electronic spreadsheets include a number of built in formulas used for common tasks known as functions.
Excel and Financial Data Spreadsheets are often used to store financial data. Formulas and functions that are used
on this type of data include: Performing mathematical operations such as summing columns and rows. Finding values such as profit or loss. Calculating repayment plans for loans or mortgages. Finding the average, maximum, or minimum values in a specified range of data.
Excel's Other Uses Other common operations that Excel can be used for include: Graphing or charting data to assist users in identifying data trends. Sorting and filtering data to find specific information.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 can be defined as presentation software. The main focus of PowerPoint is to allow the user to create visually exciting presentations.
Microsoft PowerPoint allows users to combine text, graphics and multimedia into a ‘slide show’ that can be displayed to an audience one slide at a time.
PowerPoint's slide show replaces technology such a chalkboard or an overhead projector to aid someone giving a presentation or leading a discussion.

OneNote
•Microsoft OneNote 2010 is one of those indispensable programs that many people don’t know much about. OneNote is fairly new to the Office suite but has quickly gained acceptance by those who use it regularly.

OneNote
25
OneNote is a digital notebook that allows you to gather your notes and info in one place, and also includes a search function that lets you quickly find what you want. In business, it's key to organize and arrange important bits of data, so a digital notebook makes it even easier to assemble what you want for ease of access.
OneNote
26
Information in Microsoft OneNote is saved in Pages, which are organized into Sections within Notebooks. OneNote's interface is an electronic version of the familiar tabbed ring binder which can be used directly for making notes, but also to gather material obtained from other applications. OneNote notebooks are designed for collecting, organizing, and sharing possibly unpolished materials, while word processors are usually targeted at publishing in some way
Access
27
Microsoft Access 2010 is an information management tool that helps you manage, store, retrieve, and update information. Access is known as a relational database meaning that information stored in the database can be related in some way.
Microsoft Access can help you overcome the limitations found when trying to manage large amounts of information in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications.
Access
28
Access
29
Data is stored in Microsoft Access tables (think of them as mini-spreadsheets that store only one type of thing).
A table can have many fields (think of them as columns in your spreadsheet).
Each field in a table contains information
Access

Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing application. It is an entry-level application, differing from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing.

32
The line between Word and Publisher is a little blurry because a lot of the same documents you can create in Word…you can create in Publisher. However it is safe to assume you will have more control over your layout and graphic design in Publisher than you do in Word.

33
Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager available both as a separate application as well as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note taking, a journal and web browsing.
Outlook
35
Many users of Outlook only use the email portion of the application. That is a shame because Outlook provides a robust set of features to handle personal and business calendars, task list and a contact organizer to name a few
Outlook
37
One thing you may notice right away when using Office 2010 is the fact that the Office Button in the upper left corner of each application has been removed. The Office button is where the user would go to SAVE, OPEN, and PRINT a current document.
With the release of Office 2010, Microsoft has replaced the Office button with a tab called the FILE MENU. It is also now referred to as the BACKSTAGE view because it handles all the tasks in this background tab.
