Chapter 8. Software Basics
Several software applications (also called programs) come pre-installed on your laptop, and you can install others as you need them. You should master a few basic skills to become comfortable with the look and feel of common software elements. This chapter explores both traditional Windows-based software and some of the new tools in Microsoft Office 2007. See Chapter 5 for more about Apple computers and software.
