Microsoft Office Home and Business helps you stay connected and productive — at home, at the office, and on the road.

There are 5 Apps included in Office Home and Business 2010:

Word  has revolutionized the written document and now enables co-authoring for seamless collaboration. It’s fun to imagine how the technology would have been used by our founding fathers for the Declaration of Independence.

Excel spreadsheets aren’t intimidating when new Sparklines quickly discover patterns and trends in your data─  plan for a marathon or budget for a new home and track your progress. You can also learn how to make the most of Excel and all the Office application through the Ribbon Hero training game!

PowerPoint is packed with video, music and photo editing capabilities that make lasting impressions without the extra steps that other complicated editing options require. Download free inspiration for your next project in an instant with professionally designed templates at office.com.

Outlook saves you from email overload, and now social media too─ manage your networks and stay up to date with the Outlook Social Connector. Email has evolved a lot since 1965 and as you’ll see in this infographic, Microsoft is on the forefront of its future.

OneNote is a digital journal that keeps all your ideas in one easy-to-access location.. From planning trips to reminding yourself to buy the milk─ you can capture voice clips, pictures and videos.

My Opinion

I am so impressed with the Office Home and Business Apps! You can do so much with them!

My favorite app is probably the Excel 2010! You can manage business and personal finances so efficiently and even create a business budget or track personal expenses easily with ready-to-use templates! They make it so easy to be organized and create a family budget (something I really need to start doing!)

I also really love the PowerPoint 2010! You can instantly transform your ideas into memorable presentations in with images and video, dynamic slide transitions, and animations. What makes this version so awesome is that you can use the easy-to-use photo- and video-editing features that let you add dramatic visual effects without leaving PowerPoint 2010. Your PowerPoint presentations will never be the same again! I love how easy they made editing pictures and VIDEOS right in PowerPoint! And on top of the easy editing, you can then easily broadcast your presentation through a web browser to remote audiences, even if they don’t have PowerPoint! They really have thought of everything!

And of course there is always the very trusty Word! It has always been my program of choice for all my writing and documents but I really love the ready-to-use templates in Word 2010 for almost any project, from business reports to family newsletters. It saves me A LOT of time!

In addition to all the previously mentioned highlights, make sure to look to Microsoft Office to help you stay organized now that summer is here and summer vacations are underway! Microsoft Office has designed a travel planner for its OneNote application. From restaurant reviews to packing lists, everything one needs to organize a getaway gets captured in this digital notebook. Instead of saving various notes in different Word documents, OneNote keeps text, pictures, digital handwriting, audio and video recordings in one seamless spot. How awesome is that??!!

I recommend Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 for all computer users! There is an app for everyone - whether you are a writer, a presentation maker, business person, or stay at home mom! This would make a great gift for dad this Father's Day and you will love the time it saves him so he can be with the family more! He will love that Microsoft has thought of everything to make his life easier, help him work more efficiently, and save time!
