. DEVELOPER

The first ever version of Microsoft Word - Word 1.0 - was launched in October 1983 and developed by former Xerox
programmers, Charles Simonyi and Richard Brodie. The two were hired by Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul
Allen, in 1981. At this time, Word was called Multi-Tool Word.

. DESCRIPTION OF OFFICE SUITE

Microsoft Word

Word is unsurprisingly Microsoft’s word processing app.

It was initially introduced to modest reviews because the interface was vastly different from the former leading word processor,
WordPerfect. But with the release of Windows 95 and Office 95 (in 1995), sales steadily increased.

Microsoft Excel

Excel is Microsoft’s spreadsheet program that can be used to organize, format and calculate data. You can create formulas to

PowerPoint first launched in 1990, using slides to display text, graphics and multimedia. Since then, it’s added a variety of
features to streamline and enhance presentations, such as: transition effects, timers and software integrations.

Microsoft OneNote

OneNote allows you to jot down your thoughts before you forget them. Then, notes can be shared with others.
Much like a digital notebook, the application automatically saves and syncs notes. OneNote was introduced as a standard Office
application in 2013, allowing even more users to be able to share their typed notes, drawings and screen grabs with other
online users.

Microsoft Outlook

Mainly used as an email application, Outlook is considered a personal information manager, coordinating your calendars, task
managers, contacts, notes, journals, and browsing sessions.

Outlook can be used as a stand-alone app, or it can be networked to connect multiple users to shared mailboxes and calendars
under a single organization, for example.
