Microsoft packages and their products.
Powerpoint
Microsoft PowerPoint is commonly used to create presentations using slides. Though often used to make simple, bullet-pointed presentations, it has has a range of features that can allow a range of media in your presentation. Our guide to Presentations takes you through how to use PowerPoint effectively.
It is also a great tool for creating posters, as the size of a slide can be changed to suit paper sizes and then the image options utilised to create posters without using image software. See more on our guide to Academic Posters (though of course you can make other kinds of posters using PowerPoint too).
Microsoft excel

Our guide to Spreadsheets introduces spreadsheets and has web and printable resources for using Excel.
Microsoft access
Microsoft Access is used when working with databases using relational data. This is data held in tables which are then linked according to the relationships between the data. Access processes data using queries and you can use forms and reports to interact with the data in a user-friendly way.
See our Databases guide for more information and resources on using Access.
