Documenting a Day

Microsoft Office has a wide variety of different products. Each product has been designed to fulfil a specific task. In many situations such as documenting what you do in a day there are several different options that you could choose to get good results. A writer may choose to use word to vividly replay the moments of their day through graphic explanations and detail. Someone who prefers graphs, or a visual representation may choose to document their day in excel since it makes creating tables easy and generates many different types of graphs for a visual representation. The ultimate use of visual effects would be PowerPoint. It uses slides and transitions to present the day to day activities of an individual. These transitions are used to draw the attention of the audience and to introduce information one step at a time. Access would be a way for a very analytical person to keep track of their daily tasks. I have not used this product before, and I don’t think it is as widely used as the previous 3 Microsoft Office products. Access seems to look like excel but it does have some key differences on how it handles data and multiple data tables being related to each other. If it were up to me, I would prefer to use excel to outline how I spend my time throughout my day. Excel is easy to use and adding charts and graphs can add a visual aspect of time. Ultimately, all these different products can be used to outline daily tasks. The flexibility of the products leaves the decision up to the user and what the user prefers to use or is more comfortable with.
