iSpreadsheets, files and memos are necessary documents in most businesses. Until computers became part of the typical business office, these types of records were created on paper and stored in metal filing cabinets. Today, these records are created using computer software programs such as Microsoft Word or Excel and filed electronically. MS Word and Excel can be used for many purposes in a company.
Administrative Functions
MS Word administrative documents are created and stored as files where information can be entered, edited and formatted and saved electronically. MS Word can be used to type letters, memos, notices, fax cover sheets and envelopes for mailing or distribution. Newsletters, brochures and books can also be created using MS Word. Additional graphs, photographs, charts, drawings and tables can be inserted into a Word document to further illustrate and enhance administrative documents. It is not unusual to find human resources typing up and printing a notice pertaining to the company picnic or retreat using MS Word.
Storing Data
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program used to store and retrieve numerical data in a grid format of columns and rows. Excel is ideal for entering, calculating and analyzing company data such as sales figures, sales taxes or commissions. Although Word has some graphical and calculation capability, Excel offers far more tools for calculating trends, deciphering profits, creating numerical formats and visual data. The Excel program can turn a spreadsheet of numbers into a pie chart, bar diagram or a variety of other visual diagrams. Excel can also be used to store text-based data such as client lists, employee data and mailing lists.
