Hello everybody, What exactly is "Office" software? I believe it may be a misnomer with wrong connotations - My definition is that "It is software that enables you to use your computer at home, school, college or establishment of any type including commercial business for general functions such as writing, performing calculations and working with audio-visuals. Audio-visuals may be combinations of drawings, graphs and pictures including sound, music and speech too. It may be used for personal,family, private or public use" As such, limiting it with the word "office" is a misnomer. Historically the computer and such functions were in the domain of commercial and other establishment 'offices only and hence the word office software is a carry over from the past. I believe there will be need for more meaningful words to describe this package for "application productivity and creativity package" for diverse and universal use. This if slowly introduced now would be a marked edge over others that are mere "office" suites. Kedar
