My Experience With Word

I have had a fair amount of experience with Word 2003. I know the basics of spreadsheets and word documents, but not how to use many of the special effects. However, I have not worked with Word 2007. I believe it would be helpful to review the location of the buttons in the new Word 2007 format. Memorizing the location of the new buttons will make working with the new Word faster and easier.

Blue Screen of Death

If I ever encountered a blue screen of death at 9:00 and I have an assignment due the next morning I would first attempt to use my roomate's computer to complete my assignment. If my roomate was not availabvle I would check around for other friend's computers to try to complete my assignment. If I was unable to find any other computers near my room I would try to go to a computer lab and access my account from there. Since I encountered the problem at 9:00 I know that the library, Beze, and Murchinson all have lab computers available. If no other computers were accessible the blue screen of death will have conquered me.

About Me


Hi, my name is Daniel Maurer although I go by Dan. I am from Longmont, Colorado. This town is located approximately an hour north of Denver. To see a picture of Longmont click on the link below. My house is located in the brown spot next to the golf course on the far east side of the town because we built the house two years ago and google earth is not yet updated.

I participate in as many sports as possible. In highschool I played baseball, soccer, basketball, and golf. I now play for the Trinity University Golf Team. I also enjoy snowboarding, wakeboarding and hanging out with friends. My family enjoys vacationing together. I have travelled around the world to see different cultures. A couple years ago I lived in Thailand for a couple weeks on a converted rice barge.

I have a fair amount of computer knowledge and have taken computer classes in the past. I participated in a web design class along with a typing course. I hope to learn how to better use spreadsheets and Microsoft word in Computer Skills 1300.
