bringing office software in one application.

[bringing office software in one applicat]

hi my name is harshil patel. my suggestion is that i hope MICOSOFT can make a
software that brings all the software together, like bring office application
together in one application. so when it comes up to saving, tranpharing,
e-mailing or any other porpose. and more convenient and there is more reson
to it.

If Microsoft lumped their entire office suite (or at least Word, Excel,
Powerpoint, and Access) into one program, we'd have several major problems.
First, the program that would launch in lieu of one of these four would be
rather large. The program would have to load many plugins and extensions
that 99.9% of people wouldn't need at that exact moment. Which would in turn
increase loading times, consume more RAM and CPU, etc. If all you want to do
is send an e-mail, all you should see are e-mail related items.

There are a lot of other problems that go along with this, but secondly,
file formats would be increasingly complex and non-standard - every other
program out there would have to be re-coded if they want to remain conpatible
with the new format. Plus, files would be larger in general. From a
layering and application standpoint, keeping everything separate is a much
better solution.

The Microsoft Office suite programs are designed to work together. Every
office program has some sort of mesh or linkage into another office program.
It doesn't even stop there - many programs out there have functionality that
allow them to integrate with the Office suite. Standardization is extremely
important in the computing world (and to a lot of other things too... damn
that metric system!), and scalabity of programs is extremely important to
performance (over-bloated applications are the worst - including an
all-in-one office app).

What has this got to do with designing tables in Microsoft Access - the
actual topic of this newsgroup?
