Using Microsoft Office

I just have to admit that the Microsoft Office applications are a HUGE assistance. In comparison with Microsoft word and other applications on the computers, for example notepad, it is so much more time efficient and easy. Microsoft Word has the spell check, thesaurus, dictionary, word count and more, while Microsoft Excel can produce graphs quickly and professionally as well.

This week’s exercise was to construct several activities on each application and see how it was useful. Well I can agree I didn’t know how to mail merge letters on Word and how to use Macros on Excel, however the reality is these extra feature are irrelevance and not useful for career. Yes, the software itself, is extremely useful to me in terms of typing reports and assignments just not the additional features we where required to investigate.

I did have some problems completing them as I was a little confused and couldn’t relate as I will probably never use a Marco again. It tasks weren’t difficult but I just found it tricky continuously cross check the instructions from the internet with what I was doing on the excel spreadsheet. Overall I have been using Microsoft office applications for years and will continue to do so.
