Excel and Word

I found that both exercises in today's tutorial were found to be a bit too easy, especially the word exercise. Though I did find it helpful I don't think that I would ever use it, or at least not particularly at the moment. I think it would be very useful in the workforce, specifically an office job. Already using word for years now I always like to know extra helpful ways to make things easier. Though the version I used today was not a very recent one, I have used word 2007 and find that the functions of it are very easy to use and helpful.

The exercise for excel was somewhat too simple and found that it doesn't really affects me in anyway. I think excel is widely underused, mostly to the complexity of all the functions in excel. A person unfamiliar with the use of these mathematical equations would probably feel a bit lost in a sense. I think there is a need for a clearer and easier explanation for the use of the functions. creating the table today was easy but really was to simple to understand it in that I didn't really need to create a graph for the 3 sets of data. For a beginner of these programs it would probably be helpful though.
