CorelGraphics Suite: Since version 4... I think we're at 15 (X5) now and with a new version every year you do the maths! Back in the days I tried to use it for our school "newspaper" along with QuarkXPress. Created numerous greeting cards, graphics for scientific publications, and many graphics for my theses and websites.

Microsoft Word: Started using it in Windows 3.1. Can't even remember what version it used to be! I only seriously started using Microsoft Word in college in the late 90s. I used the program to write my MSc and PhD theses, create templates for job applications (merge mail in combination with an Excel sheet for addresses), official letters and faxes, and more elaborate templates such as professionally looking forms and Standard Operating Procedures. Some of them are linked to an Access database.

Microsoft Excel: Same as Microsoft Word. I also tried Quattro Pro but I never used it seriously. I used Excel for every-day calculations such as room measurements, budgeting, keeping track of gas mileage, etc. At my job Excel is used to analyze graph results using standardized templates, lots of formatting tweaks, and automated calculations. One of my favorites was a very basic inventory for Select Agents.

Microsoft Access: When I started with my current company I developed an Access database for ordering and employee management. It has been modified since but is still in use to date!

MediaMonkey: OK, not really a productive office package but the best software for MP3 (and other audio formats) files. I am using it to manage gigabytes of music. My wife always complains that I spend so much time with it but it is the best if you are a perfectionist!
