The Two-Dollar 

Tour

S

tep right up for a tour of Microsoft Office, 
the most popular suite of applications in 

the world! 

Here are some of the things you can do with 
Office:

 ➟ 

Write letters, reports, and newsletters.

 ➟ 

Track bank account balances and 
investments.

 ➟ 

Create presentations to support speeches 
and meetings.

 ➟ 

Send and receive e-mail.

The Office suite consists of several very power-
ful applications (programs), each with its own 
features and interface, but the applications also 
have a lot in common with one another. 
Learning about one application gives you a 
head start in learning the others.

In this chapter (and Chapter 2), I take you on 
a quick tour of some of the features that multi-
ple Office applications have in common, 
including the tabbed Ribbon area. In this chap-
ter, I show you how to insert text and graphics 
in the various applications, and how to move 
around and zoom in and out.
