MS Word Questions and Answers

Answer: B

Correct answer: Kerning

Kerning adjusts the space between particular pairs of letters - AV, To, Ye - so that the word looks evenly spaced. Ordinary spacing applies the same adjustment between every pair, which is why the two are different settings.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Bottom of a Page

A footnote appears at the bottom of the page carrying its reference mark, which is what distinguishes it from an endnote, collected at the end of the document.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Drag the tab stop marker out of the ruler

A tab stop is removed by dragging its marker off the ruler - the same gesture that sets one, in reverse. Neither double-clicking nor right-clicking a marker offers a remove command.

Answer: A

Correct answer: produce many personalised documents from one template and a data source

Mail Merge combines a main document - a letter, label sheet or envelope containing merge fields - with a data source such as a Word table, an Excel worksheet or an Outlook contact list, producing one personalised copy per record. The process has three parts: writing the main document, connecting the data source and inserting the fields, then previewing and completing the merge. Fields such as «FirstName» are replaced by the value from each record in turn. It is more capable than simple substitution. Rules allow conditional text - an If…Then…Else field can vary the wording by record - and recipients can be filtered or sorted before merging. The third option describes an entirely different feature, Combine or Compare, used to reconcile two versions of the same document. Mail Merge is most often used for form letters, mailing labels, envelopes and certificates.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Alt+Ctrl+C

Alt + Ctrl + C inserts the copyright symbol, with R for registered and T for trademark on the same pattern. Ctrl + C alone copies, which is why the symbol needs the longer combination.

Answer: C

Correct answer: From insert -> object menu option

A sound file is inserted as an embedded object, since Word has no sound command of its own; the object is stored in the document and played by the program registered for that file type.

Answer: A

Correct answer: source

In a link between two documents, the one where the data originates is the source and the one it is placed into is the destination. Updating the source updates the copy in the destination.

Answer: D

Correct answer: type a biography

A word processor is for composing and formatting continuous text. Accounts and inventories call for a spreadsheet or a database, and searching a media centre for a catalogue system.
