icrosoft Office 2007 consists of five core programs: Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook. Each of these core programs spe-
PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook. Each of these core programs spe-
cializes in manipulating different data. Word manipulates words, sentences,
and paragraphs; Excel manipulates numbers; PowerPoint manipulates text
and pictures to create a slide show; Access manipulates data, such as inven-
tories; and Outlook manipulates personal information, such as e-mail
addresses and phone numbers.

Although each Office 2007 program specializes in storing and manipulating
different types of data, they all work in similar ways. First, you have to enter
data into an Office 2007 program by typing on the keyboard or loading data
from an existing file. Second, you have to tell Office 2007 how to manipulate
your data, such as underlining, enlarging, coloring, or deleting it. Third, you
have to save your data as a file.

To help you understand this three-step process of entering, manipulating,
and saving data, Office 2007 offers similar commands among all its programs
so you can quickly jump from Word to PowerPoint to Excel without having to
relearn entirely new commands to use each program. Even better, Office 2007
rearranges its numerous commands so finding the command you need is
faster and easier than ever before. (If you think this implies that previous ver-
sions of Microsoft Office were clumsy and hard to use, you’re right.)
