A Day in the Life

 I consider myself an experienced user in most Microsoft Office Applications. I have had to use them throughout most of my life and career daily. I typically use Microsoft Powerpoint when I want to present a brief or some type of classroom instruction. I also think that you can utilize all applications of Microsoft together when necessary. An example that I can use is that I was building a program for a retirement ceremony, and I need to use a feature from each application. Once I completed the project, I then converted it to a PDF file and sent it off to print. Having a thorough knowledge of how all the applications can work together will benefit you on all future projects. Each application has both advantages and disadvantages. Microsoft word is limited in what it can do when it comes to processing data. For instance, if I wanted to create a budget, I do not wish to use Microsoft Word, rather Microsoft Excel would be the preferred choice. However, if I wanted to present a word picture of my budget or present the information to a crowd, I could use Microsoft Powerpoint. For documenting my day, I think Microsoft Word was the best application for actual documentation. However, If I wanted to evaluate my day and see where I could improve with time management, Microsoft Excel would be the best application. I think another scenario that Microsoft Word is good for is taking notes or organization of thoughts. I have used Word many times to takes notes in either a meeting or class in bullet format. I also think that Word is an excellent application for writing essays and grammar checking. You can synchronize your Grammarly account with Word, which allows you to check it immediately on your computer while preparing your classwork. Lastly, Word is an excellent tool for both resume-building and collegiate level papers.
