Microsoft Word

I have a fairly limited knowledge of Microsoft Word. The only time I use the programme is for writing essays and papers. I have basically had to teach myself how to use the simple functions of the programme that enable papers to be written.

I would like to have a more extensive knowledge of Word so as I am able to improve the presentation of projects and documents through the drawing tools and so on. Also, I would like to master how to set up a page for a paper, i.e page layout, margins etc. I basically need to build my skills base so as I feel more comfortable with using word as the programme to write my papers.

About me

Hi, my name is Lachlan Fogarty and I am from the great southern land, Australia. I grew up in a suburb called Drummoyne, which is in Sydney, a city on the east coast of Australia. For those of you who don't know where Sydney, Australia is, you can check out my house at the over link. 

Living at Trinity is the first time I have lived away from home. San Antonio provides a pleasant contrast to Sydney, and I am glad that I came here. 

One reason why I came to Trinity was to play on the men's varsity soccer team. The coach recruited me from Sydney and I am glad to have been given the opportunity to play my favorite sport in another country. Trinity has an excellent and successful program with many talented players. Also, I enjoy playing music. I have played the piano since I was very young and have also taught myself to play the guitar. I am hopefully going to gain my advanced piano diploma in Sydney in July, which means I'll have to start some serious practice! 

Also, when I'm in Sydney, I love to surf. Most mornings of the week i'll be down at the beach ready to get in the water. I own many boards and tend to collect them after surfing all my life. Surfing is probably the thing I miss most about living in San Antonio as there are no beaches for miles! I have grown up around the beach, and after long periods out of the water, I feel a part of me is missing. I guess only a surfer understands. Hopefully over the summer break (which will be winter in Australia), I'll be going to Bali where i'll have perfect surf for two weeks... Heaven!

The image above is of me about to get into the water at Maroubra beach in Sydney.

As for my computer background, I haven't really had any formal education. I can perform basic function and can navigate around the computer fairly well. I would like to be able to perform more advanced function in Word and Excell, as well as learning about the hardware of the computer because really, I don't understand enough.
