Microsoft Word and Excel
Throughout the course of my career, I've definitely used Microsoft Word much more than excel (though I've used excel too), I find that, while excel is easier to use, it's harder to learn to use initially.....kind of like a Mac computer. Things I like about excel include:
Formulas
Speed (it doesn't take 10 years to load the way Word often does).
Organization (instead of spending another 10 years how to reorganize and situation a text box, in Word).
Uniformity (I haven't had issues sending excels that disintegrate once you switch to a newer excel, though, it is possible that this hasn't happened yet simply because I use excel less).
What I like about Word:
I used it often, so it kind of grew on me.
Safe place to secure a document (I recently lost an entire term paper because my P.C. shut down and I use "Open Office" free word program).
Easy to use, once you've learned it (which for many of us, was in high school).
So for me, Word wins. But I still cannot figure out whether or not that's because I've used excel much less.
