Word or Excel?

[Saturos]

Which of these MS Office applications do you use more often at home? Or at work/school even?

I can see practical applications for Word, but Excel is really more specialized for certain tasks. It has it's places though.

For example, some online FAQs written in ASCII characters was written in Excel according to the authors.

What else could Excel be used for besides bookeeping?

i use excel to analyze data for algorithms and such , its great because it can read in CSV files . so all you have to do from your program is output the data with commas and its ready to be analyzed in excel. it can also be used as a poor man's (lazy programmer's) map editor atleast for 2d tile based games.

Never used Excel, but that'll probably change once I get into the business world.

I use Microsoft Word 2003 all the time.(essay essays essays D: )

Excel is practically all I use at work. I'm just starting to enter the world of VBA so I can impress my colleagues and earn billions per hour.
