How do I refer to a piece of computer software in a personal statement?

Kristina asked:


I am writing my personal statement/letter of intent for grad school, and I refer to using computer programs — Microsoft Publisher and The Print Shop. Do I need to italicize or put them in quotes? Any help would be greatly appreciated — thanks in advance!!

   An academic subject bio history etc there is assumed best wishes to mention software it is assumed best wishes to use software it is no.
   The names of computer applications just capitalize as you have however only mention your graduate work will specifically involve these programs.
