...In 1990, a new concept was created by Microsoft Corporation to merge different software applications into a suite package allowing users to navigate and share resources between applications. Microsoft Office Suite 3.1 was introduced, tested and released for certain government offices. In 1997, Microsoft produced its first official suite office application package Microsoft Office Suite 97 for the public, which literally changed the way desktop applications were used in a business or home environment.

These applications are marketed for home use, professional use (small business) and enterprise use (for workgroups larger than 15 people). Microsoft's strategy, which is an important aspect of using these integrated suite packages, was to make the basic menu systems look the same so users can be comfortable when using different applications. Familiarity with the menu systems gained more users. Integrated Concept * An important factor of MS Office Suite is the integration of software applications in the suite package, but yet allows each software program to keep its own identity...

...To: Eric Smith From: Nick JB Date: November 8, 2013 Re: Recommendation for Microsoft Office 2003 Upgrade. Introduction The purpose of the report is to recommend which of the available office suites should be obtained to upgrade the obsolete version of Microsoft Office 2003. Microsoft Office 2003, which we use now, has become obsolete and is no longer able to satisfy our daily office needs. Mainstream support for Office 2003 ended April 14, 2009, and extended support will end April 8, 2014. The claims are based upon such drawbacks as: incompatibility with the newer file extensions widely used by our partners and clients, outdated templates and tools, Outlook’s search issues, etc. All these factors not only cause frustration, but negatively affect the company’s image as well. Several potential solutions were examined and the choice was narrowed to two office suites: Microsoft Office 2013 and LibreOffice 4. Each solution has been evaluated according to the criteria below, from most important to least important: 1. Cost. 2. Functionality. 3. Interface and compatibility. 4. Technical support. Scope The most important factor when choosing between the possible solutions is their cost. The suite we choose must be able to fulfill our office’s daily needs and even more, to ensure its usability years ahead. Thus, functionality is the second factor. The third factor is interface and compatibility because the new applications must be user-friendly, with intuitive...

...process. For example, I have saved the applications in my main disk that comprises all programs. This means that the location is able to run Microsoft Office suite as a single program. Microsoft Office entails an office suite of desktop application, servers and overhaul for the Microsoft windows and OS X operating system. The suite was introduced with three major applications i.e. Microsoft word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. Among the three applications, Microsoft Office is the least difficult application to learn while Microsoft Excel is the most difficult application to make use of. According to my understanding, I have reasonable ideas to put up on Microsoft word. Microsoft Word is the least difficult program to lean as I have all concepts regarding writing. As a learner, we were taught about project works and all processes involved. The current version is Office 2013 for widows’ released two years ago. Microsoft Word is the most popular in offices as it meets de facto standards. Additionally, the program is easy to use as it can be used in XML-based versions. My current machine is not a touch optimized version that comes with pre-installed on windows RT tablets and as a paid subscription service on the iPad. I have used Microsoft Office suite in my desktop for the last fifteen years to enhance office works. Microsoft excel is the most difficult program for me to learn as it involves a complex matrix.

...Microsoft Office in my professional life Lissette Torres Everest University CGS2167 Abstract Microsoft Corporation, founded 1975, leads globally in the development and production of software and software-related services and solutions. Initially known for home computers, Microsoft, headquartered in Washington, now offers various operating systems and software for desktop computers.

...THE MICROSOFT SUITE OF DESKTOP PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS HILDA CHUKWU 1071119008 TIS2251 ASSIGNMENT 1 ABSTRACT OpenOffice is the open-source version of Sun Microsystems' Star Office productivity suite. In fact, OpenOffice may feel more like the MS Office you're used to than Office 2007, as the former has chosen not to emulate the controversial ribbon interface that defines the latest incarnations of MS Office. OpenOffice's pitch is that it can do virtually anything that MS Office does, open any MS Office file (including the docx 2007 versions), and export to any MS Office file type -- but for the best of all possible price points. Open Office 3.1 includes the Write word processor, the Calc spreadsheet, the Impress presentation creator, the Base database program, and the Draw graphics application. This report will focus on the first three, as that's where most users' office application works is centered, and it's where most MS Office alternatives compete for your software dollars -- even if many of the competitors are available for free. FUNCTIONALITY AND USABILITY When it comes to actually working with OpenOffice, the advantages of its lean nature seem oddly understated. You‟d expect that at a fraction of the size of its Office 2011 counterpart, it would load significantly faster…but that simply isn‟t the case. While the main window typically opens in under 2 seconds and each of the component applications jumps to attention nearly instantly, the same is true of Office 2011...

...GOOGLE VERSUS MICROSOFT: CLASH OF THE TECHNOLOGY TITANS The growth and advancement in technology has continued to create competitions among its users. This case study between Google and Microsoft, two of the most prominent companies clearly illustrates this fact. The struggle continues to increase and fierce too as each day passes by. While Google has dominated the internet, Microsoft has dominated the desktop. Comparing the business strategies and business models of Google and Microsoft, one can clearly see the sharp dichotomy and why this conflict will shape our technological future. “Google began as one Search Company among many. But the effectiveness of its PageRank search algorithm and online advertising services, along with its ability to attract the best and brightest minds in the industry, have catapulted Google to global prominence. The company’s extensive infrastructure allows them to offer the fastest search speeds and a variety of Web-based products” (cf Lauderion MIS Pg 253). Google simply put has pioneered cloud computing. Microsoft on other hand, through its Windows operating system and office desktop productivity applications which are used by millions of people has achieved unimaginable success. Basically, Google is a multinational public cloud computing, internet search and advertising technologies corporation. Google hosts and develops a number of internet-based service and product, and generates profits primarily from advertising through its Ad Words...

...stand-alone machine.” Office applications are the primary factor when deciding on any office suite, whether online or not. If the word, spreadsheet, presentation, or other tools don’t meet your needs, then you should not use that suite. If you like Office, then you will probably feel most comfortable with working in Office 365. They offer more choices with fonts and formatting than Google Apps and other suites. To start off Office gives you 2GB of storage for sharing online. For email each person has 25MB. They also offer up to 35MB for file attachments. Although these are just starting, points extra megabytes can be purchased as you need them. Office 365 allows access from anywhere.
