Context
Definition: Word 2010 is the word processing software application that is part
of Office 2010 integrated office suite of programs.
Definition: An integrated software suite – individual programs that are designed and operate
together in order to connect people (workers, groups, departments, etc) to information to
enable a business process.
Much of what we have already learned using Excel is applicable to
using Word, e.g. keyboard short cuts (copy and paste, the use of document
themes and styles, text formatting commands, etc. as well as the use of
formulas /tables/ clipboard and images and their manipulation and
arrangements, and printing commands and techniques.
1.
The programs originally were designed separately but now the designs have evolved so
that they are designed to work seamlessly.

2.
The core generalized application programs under study in this class are: Excel 2010, Word 2010,
Powerpoint 2010 etc. and Visual Basic programming environment.

Other programs are listed as fyi (for your information). see the table listing on page 10.2. of the book. An
office suite may have several combinations of programs embedded and sold as the suite ( Publisher , Visio/
Project Management Software, etc). Basic, Business edition , Professional edition, Student edition, OEM
(original equipment manufacturer ) editions and so on……
Generalized programs used to solve wide array of business needs.
VS.
niche or specialized industry-specific program applications are commonly used by
subgroups or industries because of their need for enhanced performance or more
powerful features that are common to the general public. Requires specialized training/
more powerful computing (may require faster CPUs or co-processor boards/ RAM / HD /
due to larger file sizes/ better displays, etc.)
