Microsoft Office
icrosoft Office, or simply Office, is a family of client software, server
software, and services developed by Microsoft. It was first announced by Bill
Gates on August 1, 1988, at COMDEX in Las Vegas. Initially a marketing
term for an office suite (bundled set of productivity applications), the first version of
Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over
the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features
such as a common spell checker, Object Linking and Embedding data integration
and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office
as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business
Applications brand. In 2012, Softpedia reported that Office was being used by over a
billion people worldwide
It contains a word processor (Word), a spreadsheet program (Excel) and
a presentation program (PowerPoint), an email client (Outlook), a database
management system (Access), and a desktop publishing app (Publisher).
