Toss up for me between Word and Powerpoint.  After many years of use I can still find tricks in Word and it's still "cool" to me.  Formatting, columns, tables, word art, embedded objects, building forms, table of contents and indexes, writing macros for shortcuts of common function - for example I have a macro written to Control Period that will print the current page.  I missed the function from Word Perfect and got tired of all the steps.   I recently split that macro into two because I have two printers.  Control T for one and and Control R for the other!
Now Powerpoint - I do presentations quite often, but my favorite had to be one I created for new phone customer service reps for a maintenance call in line for a very large bank with multiple state locations.  They gave me pictures of all the rooms in a bank - you guessed it I had fun with sound effects and even made the handicapped restroom flush!  It made the presentation entertaining and really helped the csr's understand what we needed when we called in a maintenance request. (I was with the property management company - our state alone had over 500 locations.)
I guess I'm a little computer geek and love playing around with the programs.
