MircoSoft and Me!

My journey with MircoSoft started in comprehensive school in IT lessons, in the days before the 'C's' where added for ICT. They were normally very boring lessons with our IT teacher leaving us run wild, and often popping out of the room to get 'resources' knowing he was going for a cheeky Fag.

 

Although without lack of teaching I muddled my way through my the course and achieved a B grade, and gain a basic knowledge of MircoSofe Word and a confused double dutch understanding of Excel. 

My Computer and MircoSoft applications were then stored neatly away at the back of my mind until I returned to university at the age of 24. Being the 'old man' of the class it was a bit of a baptism of fire using my MircoSoft skills with everything I knew being out of date and being a lot slower than everyone else. I developed my skills through asking a lot of questions of my class mates and generally playing with applications in  my spare time. By the time I finished University I was confident in Word, producing all my written assignments in Word, I did many presentations in PowerPoint and I am confident inserting text, changing profiles adding designs and delivering them as a presentation. During recent work experience I have become developed my basic Excel skills and can use simple formulars. 

I currently use a MacBook Pro and use MircoSoft Word, which can be frustrating at times when writing assisgnments as the toolbar has a different layout and there is no referencing option to create a Reference List.
