I'd check you company's project management policies and standards or those of your client to see what templates or practices might be prescribed.
If nothing is dictated and the project is truly small and of low complexity, MS Excel, Word and PowerPoint are likely your best options. For schedule development, once you get over 40-50 tasks and need dynamic dependency handling, a "real" scheduling tool such as MS Project would be helpful.

You are spoiled for choice but you probably won't be using ''PM Software" to achieve your goal/s. The activities you mention are not unique to project management and you need to consider your audience. Even if you were going to use some PM software to create documentation not all of your stakeholders will be familiar with the software you are using. As Kiron points out using MS Office to create documents is your best option. Which specific application you use would depend on what you want to communicate since some are better for data, others better for infographics, and others for elaborating. Saving Changes...
"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
