Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint are programs that come packaged in the Microsoft Office software suite. Word allows you to create word-processing documents while Excel is a spreadsheet-creation program. PowerPoint offers the tools to create high-quality slide show presentations. You can download the Office Home and Student 2010, which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint, for a free 60-day trial. Once the trial ends, you will need to purchase the license to continue using each program. You must have a Windows Live account to download the software suite.
