Every business needs MS Office packages to enhance its output and efficiency. 
Before now I used to see Microsoft Excel, Access and PowerPoint as trivial application software packages. I had this mentality until one of my friend, Jack went for a job interview and came home weeping that he lost the ob. After consoling him, I asked him how and why he lost the job. He said, “I was given a table of values and was told to use Microsoft Excel to generate a graph based on the values but I couldn’t because I don’t know how to use it”.


From that moment I forcefully developed interest in Microsoft packages, especially MS-Excel, Access and PowerPoint. I found out that these they are not trivial as I initially thought. When I explored deep into these packages, I discovered that almost all fields need them, especially Microsoft Excel and Access. Moreover, most business companies now require that you have at least a basic knowledge in these packages especially Microsoft Excel and Access before you are employed.


I will like to explain each of these packages and then elaborate more on their uses and application areas and finally show you where you some websites where you can learn them.

Now that you have known the usefulness and the application of these software packages in different fields, your next question will be, “How and where can I Learn Microsoft Excel, Access and PowerPoint?”

 Learning these packages is very easy if and only if you have the zeal. After I developed interest in these Microsoft packages, I searched for online tutorials on these packages. I found out that most websites offering these tutorial attached some fees to them, some from $150 to $200 per package. I also searched around my locality for offline tutorial centers. Some of them charge up to $500.


After much comparison, I chose the offline tutorial simply because it was much convenient to me since I had no PC then. But I always go to cyber café to download e-books and to check for solutions to some problems. So you can make your choice between online and offline tutorials, but I recommend online tutorials because they expose you to real life applications and provide solutions to most practical problems that you may encounter in the future.


After attending tutorials, coupled with some experiences I got so far as Database Administrator, I decided to help and inspire people by designing MICROSOFT TUTORIAL site for tutorials and solutions to practical problems on Microsoft Excel, Access and PowerPoint in their various versions such as version 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016 which is the latest version.
