Could you please provide me with a written explaination of what word processing and excel are?
 
Word processing is the means to manipulate Words on screen for printing on
paper.
Excel is a spreadsheet - a matrix of cells used to perform calculations.

Word processing is "working with words on a computer" ... you could call
it "writing" or "typing". The term originated in (probably) the 1970's
as dedicated and centralized organisations of typists moved from
typewriters to "word procesors" which were the first computers that did
what typewriters did--plus more. (If you need to know what a typewriter
is, see http://xavier.xu.edu/~polt/typewriters.html)

See www.microsoft.com/office for informatin about Excel (Microsoft's
Spreadsheet) and Word (Microsoft's Word Processor).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
