* If you're Secretary or office manager, "Microsoft Word" for reports harmonization & formating

* If you're Accountant, "Microsoft Excel" is your best friend, for every thing with numbers, charts & data handling.

* If you're Instructor, use "Microsoft PowerPoint" for charming presentations

* Developer or programmer, use "Microsoft Access" to create Databases for other users
