Documenting a Day

 As we are about to enter the third week of this course, I'm writing this essay about Microsoft applications and their advantages.   This week, we worked on assignments using Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to speak of one day in our lives. The programs are different, but they have a lot of similarities and can be used interconnected together. 

People mainly use Microsoft word for creating documents, such as brochures, letters, learning activities, quizzes, tests, and homework assignments. In my case, this week, I used it to document a day in my life. One of my favorite features of Microsoft word, which is very useful for various purposes, is its Navigation pane at the top. It is a visual representation of many functions. It is where you can select different functions depending on your need and make use of it conveniently.

On the other end, Microsoft Excel is another great spreadsheet application used to manipulate stored data and PowerPoint to create slide show presentations. It provides multiple features to perform various operations like calculations, pivot tables, graph tools, macro programming, etc. It is compatible with multiple OS like Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. This week I used it to record the amount of time I spend doing my daily activities. 

Lastly, I created my presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint, a slide show software used to convey a message or a story. You can think of each slide as a blank canvas for the pictures and words that help people tell their stories. With PowerPoint, you can add Animations and designs, add images and videos, and edit those images and videos to create your presentation as desired.  

In Conclusion, the Microsoft suite of products is a deal-breaker compared to similar applications used for the same purposes. Having a chance to learn and use Microsoft word, excel, and PowerPoint this week allowed me to explore and discover the great features that each of them offers and the downsides.
