Multiple applications on a desktop? Yes as many as you and your computer can handle.

i meant can i use one desktop for multiple apps...how can i set up my mac to use only one desktop? thx
Yes you can. It ships this way. I'm guessing you are opening apps in full screen mode so they are taking up the entire screen? Go to the top right corner and click on the blue arrow image and this will minimize the app out of full screen.
my apologies for being green on this, but do not see a blue arrow image on the upper right hand corner of tge screen. ok. what i want to do is to have excel open and safari open in the same desktop so i can cut and paste. i guess i am used to windows at work to perform this function....never done it at home on my mac...does it make sense?
Mac OS X Mountain Lion supports multitasking like cbs20 mentioned. Just like MS Windows just press alt+tab to switch to whatever applications you have open. Use to the Dock at the bottom of your screen for your applications.

Actually it isn't Alt-Tab on OS X, it's Command-Tab to use the Application Switcher.
Also, Control+ left/right arrow key will switch spaces if that's what's desired.
thanks guys
Network you are correct. My mistake. I was typing this on my Windows machine next to my Macbook.
