COMPUTER APPLICATIONS

Learning to key is of little value unless one applies it in preparing a useful document - a
letter, a report, and so on. Three basic kinds of software (applications) are available to assist
those with key skills in applying that skill electronically.

Word Processing Software

Word processing software is specifically designed to assist in the document preparation


needs of individuals or business. Word processing software permits the use to "create, edit,
format, store, and print documents." The software can be used to process a wide variety of
documents such as memos, letters, reports and tables.

This software has editing and formatting features that reduce time and effort. It permits
easy error detection and correction: merging of text with variables in another document or even
another application (for example, database software): and graphic design of pages. These
features increase efficiency while enhancing the appearance of documents.

Database Software

A database is any collection of related items stored in computer memory. The data in a
database may be about club members, employee payroll, company sales, and so on. Database
software allows the user to enter data, sort it, retrieve and change it, or select certain data (such
as an address) for use in word processing documents.

Spreadsheet software

A spreadsheet is an electronic worksheet made up of columns and rows of data. Spreadsheet


software allows the user to "create, calculate, edit, retrieve, modify and print graphs, charts,
reports and spreadsheets necessary for current business, operations and in planning for the future.
A review of newspaper advertisements shows the skills that employers expect for most jobs;
competent use of Word Processing and spreadsheet software and familiarity with
database applications.
