• Word saves documents with .doc extension.
• Useful for:
• Creating and inserting graphics in documents (e.g. pictures, charts, and diagrams)
• Storing and reusing ready-made content and formatted elements (e.g. cover pages,
sidebars)
• Making changes without retyping the entire document
• Correcting typing errors/mistakes (typos) using the cursor
• Rearranging and formatting text
• Change the layout
• Create documents e.g. office memo, legal copies, reference documents etc.

INTRODUCTION
-Data model describes the structure of a database. A data model consists of components
for describing the data, the relationships among them, and the semantics of data and the
constraints that hold data. Many data models exist based on the way they describe the
structure of database. The data models are generally divided into three categories as
follows: High level or conceptual Data Model, Representation or implementation Data
Model, and Low level or physical Data Model Schema is the logical structure of the
database. A schema contains information about the descriptions of the database like the

ADVANTAGES OF DATABASE
-Provides security and removes redundancy
-Sharing of data
-Supports multi-user environment that allows users to access and manipulate data in parallel.

INTRODUCTION
• Spreadsheet (aka worksheet) is a computer program that presents raw data (e.g.
numbers and text) in a grid of intersecting rows and columns(cells) referred to as a
worksheet.
• You define what type of data goes into a cell and how different cells RELATE To one
another.
