1) Introduction
===============

Microsoft Office is a proprietary commercial office suite of inter-related desktop

applications, servers and services for the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating

systems, introduced by Microsoft in 1989. Initially a marketing term for a bundled

set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word,

Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have

grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker,

OLE data integration and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications scripting language.
