Correct Software chosen for tasks

This program is not as popular as Microsoft FrontPage. I could have used another web site designing application to create my web page, for example Dreamweaver. This is a more advanced program, which has different tools. Instead of using Microsoft Word I could have used WordPad, however this is a basic application, which is not as developed as Microsoft Word. I also could have used Microsoft Works which is an integrated package containing Wordprocessor, spreadsheets and database applications within.
