Word is used to create text documents and gives you the tools to format letters and such.
Power Point is more for slide show presentations when you have photos or illustrations plus text. People use them a lot for meetings and presentations. Once they make a file for the Power Point presentation they can take that and put it on overheads or computers in meeting rooms where they can show the lay-outs like a slide show.
Outlook helps you manage e-mail. It can organize e-mail for later reference and keep all your addresses and allows you to send mass e-mails to groups. It's one of the best programs for any one to pick up on who has to deal with e-mails. It keeps all that information really handy and upfront for you so that you can manage it. You can make folders for your e-mails and frequently visited web addresses also. You can also customize your e-mails, add a signature with your name, address, and any other information including logos. You can block certain e-mails. Outlook allows you to import messages from other e-mail accounts such as Yahoo or Hot Mail or your office server, which also allows you to reference your e-mails without being online. It's a really great tool.
