Word is a word processor, XL is a spreadsheet. Word is better for word
processing tasks, XL is better for spreadsheet tasks. There's some, but not much, overlap in their capabilities. What are you trying to do? In article , "linda raye" <linda wrote: ineed a comparision between word and excel |

A question like "Which is better?" depends upon what you are trying to do.
Both are very useful tools for very different tasks. Enlighten us, what is it you wish to do? Then we can tell you which is the better tool for the job? If you question is just a question of which is better in general, I'd venture to say neither, but I figure it would be a matter of opinion. Kinda hard to say which is better if you are asking just in general, though. They are different programs for different tasks. Hard to compare them. -- Have a nice day! ~Paul Express Scripts, Charting the future of pharmacy ~~~~~~ | | |c--OD | _) | | |-. | / `-# /A / /_|..`#.J/ ||LJ `m'' ptaylor "JE McGimpsey" wrote: Word is a word processor, XL is a spreadsheet.

If you were a science/math major, excel is better.
If you were an English major, Word is better. If you were an Arts History major, then powerpoint is better. <vbg linda raye wrote: ineed a comparision between word and excel -- Dave Peterson |

If you were an IT major (or IST, in my university's case), you'd use all
three, plus Microsoft Access, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Front Page, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Macromedia Fireworks, Macromedia Flash, possibly Macromedia Director.... hmmm.... am I forgetting anything? Visual Basic..... -- Have a nice day! ~Paul Express Scripts, Charting the future of pharmacy ~~~~~~ | | |c--OD | _) | | |-. | / `-# /A / /_|..`#.J/ ||LJ `m'' ptaylor "Dave Peterson" wrote: If you were a science/math major, excel is better.

told us an interesting story. My reply to this story is at the bottom of this message.

Visual Basic..... No, you'd be using LaTeX, AbiWord, GnuCalc, OpenOffice, Nvu, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Python, Perl,... :-p -- Amedee Van Gasse |

There you go. Those too. I thought I was forgetting some. Actually, though, I
haven't heard of a few that you mentioned. We never used them at my university. -- Have a nice day! ~Paul Express Scripts, Charting the future of pharmacy ~~~~~~ | | |c--OD | _) | | |-. | / `-# /A / /_|..`#.J/ ||LJ `m'' ptaylor "Amedee Van Gasse" wrote: In , Paul (ESI) told us an interesting story.

My uni days are almost 10 years behind me, so some of the newer software didn't exist yet in those days. But then again, people at the uni of Ghent were always very involved with Unix then and Linux now. -- Amedee Van Gasse |
