Office software generally refers to word processors, spreadsheets,
presentation software and email utilities. Microsoft Office dominates this
arena. But most new PCs come bundled with Microsoft Works Suite 2005, which has
Word, Works Database, Spreadsheet and a range of home packages.
To upgrade to a full version of Microsoft Office will cost around £150. Many
will not need the functionality of Office though, and the Outlook Express email
software shipped with all Windows PCs is enough for most users. If you can wait,
then do so, since Microsoft plans to launch Office 12 in July 2006. But don’t
forget the competition either: products such as
Ability
Office,
Star
Office and the free open-source version,
Open
Office, are available.
