Microsoft Excel 2007
Compatitors Comparison

Microsoft Office Word is a word processor programme.  In 2007 a new programme was released by Microsoft Office offering updates to the programme.  The updates have been for the most part very successful and useful; however Microsoft is not the only word processor on the market.  They are considered the best by most, but to help you understand why, let’s take a look at a few other options.
Microsoft Works is also a word processor through the same company, but radically different in the context.  Works is more like the 2003 Microsoft Office Word.  You have a simple toolbar that allows for several different options.  It is also compatible with MS Office.  The drawback in this programme is how it is set up.  You can’t just open a word processor document; you have to go through several steps.
