Windwos not only allows you to open two or more programs at once, it allows you to carry out work in both programs simultaneously. If you need to perform a time consuming task in one program such as, copying a large file from the internet, you simply start the process and then swithc to a different program. The first task will continue unattended while you work in the second. This capability to work on two or more things at once is called multitasking. People perform multitask all the time, such as, reading while watching television, talking on the phone while cooking dinner, chewing gum while jogging, etc.
Windows Clipboard
Windows also includes a feature knows as the clipboard that lets you easily copy or more data from one program to another and you can do this using hte sam cut, copy and past commands in almost all windows programs. This means that you can copy those sales figures directly from your spreadsheet into your word processing document without having to use any special importing or exporting commands.
