Microsoft Word has been the dominant word processing software for decades and it has the power to create most of the documents that a business needs to operate from menus and price lists, to advertising flyers and business proposals to training workbooks and business plans.

Microsoft Word enables anyone to create professional looking documents and the templates enable staff and business owners to put these documents together in a professional structure and format.

Still Very Relevant for Presentation & Design

Microsoft PowerPoint is the dominant global leading software for presentations and, unlike Word Processing software like Microsoft Word, which used character editing as its main structure formatting, PowerPoint uses a frames structure.

This means you can put any type of frame anywhere on a page and reorder and re-arrange them until you are happy with how it looks. These frames can be text frames and images and even audio and video files but most people use the software as a slide progression from one page/slide to the next.

The frame structure gives PowerPoint the flexibility to give people the power to place any image or text anywhere on the page which appeals to people who prefer to present their information visually but many users simply use a heading and then a set of bullet points and perhaps an image and focus on using the presentation software to take their audience on along a story about what they are trying to share.
