i love word
I like the templates for making posters!
Wow, it’s hard to pick just one favorite feature of Microsoft Office. I’d have to say that getting ready to start nursing school my favorite feature will be One Note 2010 to keep separate notebooks for each subject and any reports. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I have tried other software and always come back to Office. I love the way Excel lets me pull info from one spreadsheet to another and Word makes it so much easier to type and create more professional looking letters. I also enjoy Access…learned it years ago and loved the ease in creating several different reports from one database.
Its SOOOO user friendly and easy to follow.
The Custom OneNote Notebook sounds aweseome!
MIcrosoft Word! I love to be able to print flyers and posters! We are always doing something for my kids football stuff! Thanks for this opportunity! Good luck everyone! 🙂
Easy to use and very user friendly. Planning on going back to school soon, so it would be a great help.
I love making brochures, flyers, posters, etc. in Publisher! (I also put this in the “extra info” section on the first entry.
I can’t pick just one either. I like having the different varieties of software. I took a class that used Access and I couldn’t figure it out, but I think it was more towards the teachers fault because 1/2 the class couldn’t understand it, also. I would love to be able to figure it out. I love the powerpoint, word, and I am beginning to love excel, as well. It is neat to see the finished product when it is all set and done.
I really like the word program.
