Pick Your Suite
The most popular word processors and spreadsheet applications are available as part of larger application suites. A suite
is a collection of programs, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, database, presentation program, and more. Visit the Web sites of the three leading makers of application suites and research their products:
- Microsoft Corporation http://www.microsoft.com/(Look for information on the Microsoft Office 2000 application suite.)
- Corel Corporation http://www.corel.com/
(Look for information on the WordPerfect Office 2000 application suite.)
- Lotus Development Corporation http://www.lotus.com/ (Look for information on the SmartSuite Millenium Edition application suite.)
Find Some Fonts
The Internet is a good place to find and acquire fonts for use with your word processing program. Some fonts are free;
you can download them from various Web sites at no cost. Other fonts can be purchased over the Web. Visit these Web sites
and study the available fonts. Do not download any fonts, however, without your instructor's permission.
