reading, and in fact, it is a simple question from me to you to
answer in 4 or more, nicely-written, insightful, sentences, that
contribute to and not duplicate, any responses posted before it.
You do not need to respond to other class members this week,
the only response required is the response to the question

From the four Microsoft applications we have studied this
semester, list one new feature you learned about and describe
how to use this feature. Note: You only need to list one feature
alone and you must cite all sources using APA formatting.
