A spreadsheet is for numerical analysis and manipulation, whereas a word processor is for working with text. Spreadsheets have a wide range of mathematical functions that word processors do not have. Some word processors can do some basic calculations, but not the range of ones that a spreadsheet can do.
Spreadsheet programs are one of the most important thing that a business can run. They can be set up to keep track of costs and profits. One of the most common spreadsheet programs would be Microsoft Excel.
excel is for Spreadsheet Word Processing.. e.g. MS Word, NotePad, Word pad.. etc..
It depends on what you are trying to model. For most models, there are specialty programs.
There are a number of Bookkeeping / Accounting programs out in the real world. Most if not all of these programs will output transaction histories in a spreadsheet format.
The word processing application would be most useful when writing a script or a letter. It would also be useful when writing a report. WRONG WRONG WRONG
Word processing would probably be the most basic. Spreadsheet is also pretty basic.

If you're talking about Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software, I'd say it's very important. There are other spreadsheet programs, of course, but Excel seems to be the most widely used, and if you learn it, most of the other programs will be much easier to pick up. Spreadsheet programs in general can help you to learn bookkeeping programs such as Quick Books. In general, these programs do two things: most obviously, they help you handle financial information. Perhaps more important, they help you to understand the relationships among the financial elements of business. They help you to explore alternate approaches to problems and make predictions about the future of your enterprise.
Where word-processing and desktop-publishing programs begin to differ most noticeably is in the way the programs handle the integration of graphical elements and text elements.
There are several, but by far the most common is LibreOffice Writer.
Microsoft Word, probably the most widely used word-processing software, is part of the Microsoft Office suite, which includes Microsoft's PowerPoint presentation program and Excel spreadsheet program.
