Blog Post 3 - Application Reflection Essay

This assignment for this week has been enjoyable and engaging. I’ve had the chance to work with multiple applications to describe a day in my life. I used Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Access. Microsoft Word is a word processor application, used in the creation of formatted text (Vahid & Lysecky, 2017). Formatted text is just a fancy term for text that can be different sizes, fonts, styles, and colors. Microsoft Excel is an application used for entering and sorting data. Information is entered into cells, and those cells are organized by rows and columns. Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation application. PowerPoint allows a user to insert text and graphics and into slides and create animations and transitions, making the final product an engaging presentation. Finally, Microsoft Access is a database application. The user inputs data similar to Excel, and the information is saved in a way that allows the user to keep track of entries.
