what is the difference in microsoft office and microsoft office su

I notice that many companies are asking job seekers if they are experienced
in office suites. Is this a different version of microsoft office? What is
the difference between that and lets say microsoft office xp?

Yes, Microsoft Office XP is an "office suite". FWIW An "office suite"
could contain as few as two applications and there is no "standard" as
to what type of applications they are, so the requirement is pretty vague.

Oh dear. This question strongly implies you aren't very knowledgeable about
Office. May I suggest you spend some time on Microsoft's website? Every you
need to know about Office is in there.

I'd expect that anyone who wants a job involving MS Office would at
least check the basics concerning different versions and included
programs, as you say.

I was trying to find a gentle way of phrasing that response. I hope the OP
takes my suggestion and follows through with it.

Thank you Bob for your response, you were the only one who actually answered
my question.
I am familiar with office I just was confused because I had not seen it
referred to as Suite before. I've been at my job for 5 years and work with
office 2003.
