Microsoft Office 2007

I developed my current understanding of Microsoft Office while studying at Trinity. In my statistics course, I learned how to use the functions programs available in Excel. In my economics courses, I made numerous slideshow presentations. After reading the guide to Microsoft Office 2007, I learned that I have a long way to go before I am familiar with all of the new features and programs. While I am proficient, at setting tab spots, inserting and manipulating graphics, and adding footers, I need to learn the finer points of creating templates and creating HTML Files. Moreover, I hope to learn how to make return address labels. I believe that regular attendance and active participation in class will allow me to master these new features.

If my computer crashed the night before an assignment was due, I would go to a computer lab or the library. Thus, the problem would be solved as I would be able to log on to a Trinity computer. However, I would not be able to access old data, files, and work that was saved on my old computer.

About Me

My name is Maxwell Fisher, but my friends call me Max. I grew up in Houston, Texas. Below you can find a link to a satellite image of Houston captured by Google Earth.

At Trinity, I am an active participant with the College Democrats. Through my involvement with the Trinity College Democrats, I hope to encourage other students to participate in the political process. I also devote time to helping plan and organize the annual school concert. My goal is run for A.S.R. President in the Spring. My majors are in political science and economics, while my minor is in classical studies. I hope to attend law school following graduation from Trinity.

My background in computers is limited to using Windows 2000 as well as the component programs in Microsoft Office (i.e., Microsoft Word, Excel). I do not have any unique computer training; however, I hope to acquire those skills in this course.
