subject: Discover What Microsoft Access Can Do [print this page] Many of us are aware of many of the great programs that Microsoft offers. We might find excel to be very useful to take care of our budget needs or create a spreadsheet with information for orders or even for sign up's for some kind of an event. Then there is Microsoft Word that many of us find ourselves using for newsletters or business letters or even personal letters. We might use it to create reports or other important documents.
Besides these two very popular programs Microsoft offers several other programs such as Publisher, PowerPoint and Outlook. These are pretty common programs that are used. For some they might not be aware of some of the other programs that Microsoft offers to help us such as Microsoft SharePoint and Access. Have you ever heard of either of these programs?
If you are like many people you might not be aware of these programs and it is always difficult to learn new programs.
