Hah, I also went down that route. Through my school I could do extra computer stuff, ended up with this certificate at 10 years old or so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Certification_of...

So yeah, a kid well-versed in Office. My birthday invites were bad-ass, though. Remember I had one row in Excel per invited person with data, and in the Word document placeholders, and when printing it would make a unique page per row in Excel, so everyone got customized invites with their names. Probably spent longer setting it up than it would've taken to edit their names + print 10 times separately, but felt cool..

Luckily a teacher understood what I really wanted, and sent me home with a floppy disk with some template web-page with some small code I could edit in Notepad and see come to live.
