Weegy: It may seem that, if you learn any of the applications in Microsoft Office, you're learning specialized or advanced skills. But in reality, many employers consider Microsoft Office skills to be among the basics. [ If your occupation demands that you are proficient with one or more of these applications, earning Office Specialist Certification might help you to beat out other job candidates.
Good Microsoft Office applications to know are Word and Outlook, at least at the accomplished-beginner or intermediate level. Depending on the job, you might also need to know one or more among Excel, Access and Project to some degree. PowerPoint is a good one to know if you must make presentations. It's not unusual for even "ordinary" employees to make presentations, such as for department or project meetings. These applications are good stepping stones too, because once you know them well, you'll also know the fundamentals of many others. ]
