The Microsoft Office Suite has stood as a top program package for
several decades. While many of the core software titles have built on the
foundation Microsoft started in 1990 (Bill Gates officially announced Microsoft
Office in 1988), additional titles are now included. Beyond all the titles and
new features, the suite of programs has built-in security, safeguarding
information created and saved within Microsoft Office. The Microsoft Office
2016 suite is an excellent collection of programs for small to large businesses
alike. Here are the titles included in Office Professional 2016.
Tent pole programs are the most commonly used titles in the
Microsoft Office suite. These programs have also been around the longest (often
outdating the formation of Microsoft Office itself). These titles are:
Word:
Microsoft Word is a word processor. It makes it possible to create
documents in traditional text form. There are added templates available in
Microsoft Word that do alter creation potential, ranging from book layouts to
postage addresses. This is the oldest continually running program in the Office
package, with its origin dating back to 1983 (although it was called Multi-Tool
Word then).
Excel:
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program. While often used for
financial reports, this program allows a user to input information into
individual cells on a chart. The spreadsheet software permits the creation of
complex mathematical formulas, based on what a user needs. This way sums,
equations, and other information can be automatically calculated when typing in
new data into the cells. Microsoft first released Excel back in 1985.
PowerPoint:
This slideshow presentation software is a digital version of
old-fashioned film slides. Individual “slides” can house text, visuals, video
footage and other information. PowerPoint came out with the initial Microsoft
Office release in 1990.
OneNote:
OneNote is best used in a collaborative environment. It makes it
possible for individuals to input notes (both typed or handwritten), images or
other content picked up from the Internet. This way, when researching a subject
or when working with different users across a network, it is easier to save all
viable information in one location. This title has been around since 2003.

provides more in-depth features than what the online login option provides.

use Microsoft Publisher for books, pamphlets and other, similar documents.
