Is it important to include MS Office/Word/Powerpoint on CV?

I'm wondering how important it is to include Microsoft Office, Word, and Powerpoint on my CV for IBD or S&T applications. I figured recruiters would figure that I'd know how to open a Word doc and that it doesn't need to be said explicitly. But I'm looking for different opinions. Out of that group of Microsoft applications, I only have Excel on my CV. Should I add Office and Word to try to increase my chances of having my CV picked up?
