Microsoft and Me

I have used Microsoft ever since I can remember. My first experiences with it was in comprehensive school. I have used most of the programmes provided with Microsoft, such as Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access, Excel and Outlook. I have used these programmes throughout my educational journey through school, college and university. I have always had a positive experience with each of the programmes although I am more confident using Word and PowerPoint as these are both the programmes that I have used the most and I think the most common ones that people use in education. I think that both of these programmes have benefited me throughout my education as both have different features that have helped me and also give variation in my work. College taught me to continuously save my work after having lost so much work due to computers constantly freezing and crashing. College eh?! With college work, there was a mix of assignments and presentations so that's where my confidence of those two programmes came from. Spending hours just messing around to find the right themes and colour that I thought looked the prettiest. When I got to university, I found referencing difficult to get my head around. Word was and still is my best friend in regards to referencing, as it has a referencing tool which does the referencing and bibliography for you. If anything it is probably part of the reason of me graduating.






The use of Microsoft has been essential in my education and I would probably be lost without it.
