At least once a week you can find me sneaking over to my husband’s desktop so I can keep track of my reviews, giveaways, pr contacts, and posts using Microsoft Word & Excel. When we purchased my laptop it came with a free trial of Microsoft Office 2010 but the trial only lasted a couple months and quickly expired. Instead of purchasing the full version I just used the desktop. Not only is the Microsoft Office on the desktop the 2000 version, over 10 years old, but it can be a pain to go between my laptop which I normally do most of my work on and the desktop. When Microsoft gave me the opportunity to upgrade to the Microsoft Office Home & Business 2010 Edition of course I jumped on it.

As you can see the layout of Word 2010 looks a lot nicer and has more options then my 2000 version. I have been using Microsoft Word & Excel 2010 daily for the past month and I regret not upgrading sooner. There are so many new features available and I love the in dept tool bar, editing is much more convenient now. It is also great to not have to go between computers to stay organized.
Although PowerPoint was a great help with projects in college, I mainly now only use Word an Excel. Microsoft Word allows me to write and edit my posts while Excel is great to help me stay organized. I can keep a list of contacts, and organize my reviews & giveaways. I used to only use Excel for Blogging purposes but have recently started to use it on a more personal level to help our family stay organized, I can now easily keep track of our schedule and our family budget which has been a big help.
