Productivity Software
Word processing is a widely used application for creating, editing, and formatting textual documents. Textual documents include letters, memos, reports, fax cover sheets, mailing labels, and newsletters. Most word processing packages include formatting features such as changing font and font size, changing color of characters, and organizing text into newspaper-style columns. Other features of many word processing packages include inserting clip art, changing margins, finding and replacing text, checking spelling and grammar, entering headers and footers, providing a thesaurus, developing Web pages, and creating tables (Rothman 45-60).
Spreadsheet software allows users to organize data in rows and columns in a worksheet. Each data item is stored in a cell, which is the intersection of a row and a column. Most of today’s spreadsheet packages provide more than 16 million cells that can contain data in the form of numbers, formulas, or functions. Formulas and functions perform calculations. A major feature of spreadsheet software is that when a user changes data in cells, the formulas and functions automatically recalculate themselves and display the new values. Many spreadsheet packages allow the creation of macros, which hold a series of keystrokes and instructions - a real timesaving feature. Most spreadsheet packages also include the ability to create charts, for example, line charts, column charts, and pie charts, from the data in cells (Rothman 60-78).
Database software, sometimes called a database management system (DBMS), enables users to collect data and then access, retrieve, and use that data. The data is stored in tables, which consists of rows (records) and columns (fields). The data can be text, numbers, dates, or hyperlinks. When data is entered into a table, the database software can validate it, which is the process of comparing it to a set of stored rules or values to determine if the entered data is correct. Once the data is stored, the database software can sort it, query it, and generate reports from it (Greene and Peterson 35-56).
Many word processing, spreadsheet, and database software packages exist today. A popular word processing package is Microsoft Word 2000; a popular spreadsheet package is Microsoft Excel 2000; and a popular database package is Microsoft Access 2000 (Shelly Cashman).
