Q: Differentiate between Notepad & WordPad?
Notepad is the most basic text editor, which allows you to open and create text files. While you can
create several paragraphs of text with Notepad, using line breaks (by pressing the Enter key), the
program does not give you text formatting options. For example, you cannot change the font size or
make the text bold.
WordPad is similar to Notepad, but gives you more formatting options. You can use bold and italics
formatting, and change the font, size, and color of the text. You can also create bulleted lists and center
and justify paragraphs. WordPad allows you to save documents as either basic text (.TXT) files or rich text
format (.RTF) files. Saving a document in the rich text format will keep all the formatting you have done
to the text, while saving it as a basic text file will remove all text formatting from the document.
Notepad is a good choice for creating webpages (HTML documents) and writing scripts or basic computer
programs, since these types of documents do not require any text formatting. It is also useful for
removing formatting from text that you have copied and want to paste somewhere else as plain text. Just
paste the text into Notepad, copy it again from Notepad, and you have completely unformatted text.
WordPad is a good choice for writing papers or creating documents that you want to print. It is also great
for making lists, since it supports bullets. You can use WordPad to open an unformatted text document
and add whatever formatting you want. If you want even more formatting options and a more user-
friendly interface, you can use a program such as Microsoft Word.

Q: What is the purpose of MS Publisher?
Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing program that allows users to create

professional-quality publications, according to Microsoft. The program offers many options
for design and fonts, and it can be used to create magazines, newsletters, pamphlets and
more.
Publisher lets users import pictures and text and arrange them for publication. The
program's interface offers numerous effects and options for both images and text, including
reflections and softer shadows. Microsoft Publisher is offered as a simpler, entry-level
alternative to more expensive products, such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. Although
it offers fewer features than these higher-end programs, Publisher is more user-friendly and
generally appeals to home users and small businesses that lack dedicated graphic designers.
Q: What is the purpose of MS Access?

The purpose of Microsoft Access is to create quick and easy databases. Access provides a user-
friendly interface that helps the user build and develop an information storage and retrieval
system without much programming experience.
Much of Access's functionality builds off that of Microsoft Excel. However, Access is significantly
more powerful for complex computing tasks or for large data sets. Rather than operating through
worksheets, Access stores data in tables that are operated using SQL. The data in these tables are
accessed through queries, which are simple sets of commands that detail how to sort and report
the data.
The program also allows more complex development of applications and other programs. Access
allows users to develop graphical user interfaces so that future users need not work with code or
queries directly. These interfaces are built using a drag-and-drop set of GUI commands in Access or
through more complex scripting.
