Microsoft itself suggests in their Manual of Style to use the full name
(Microsoft Excel) at the first mention and the short name (Excel)
therafter. This seems pretty sensible to me, although I don't think that
you would confuse anybody if you wrote just "Excel" the first time as well.

Hope this helps
