MS Office Questions and Answers

Answer: B

Correct answer: Moves the cursor one Page Down

Page Down alone scrolls by one screenful, which depends on the window size; adding Ctrl moves to the next page of the document, which does not.

Answer: B

Correct answer: end mark

The end mark is the short horizontal line that shows where the document ends; nothing can be typed after it. The insertion point is the blinking cursor, which can be anywhere.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Office Vista

Office XP, Office 2007 and the other year-named releases are all real. Vista was a version of Windows, not of Office, which is what makes it the odd one out.

Answer: A

Correct answer: left-aligned, or flush margins at the left edge and uneven at the right edge

Word's default is left alignment, which gives a straight left margin and a ragged right one. Justification, which straightens both, has to be applied deliberately.

Answer: C

Correct answer: mail merge

Mail merge combines a standard document with a list of names and addresses to produce one personalised copy for each record. The standard document supplies the wording and the data source the variable parts.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Save Document with same name

Ctrl + S writes the document back to the file it was opened from, without asking anything. Saving under a different name is Save As, which is F12.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Moves the cursor one Page Up

Ctrl + Page Up moves to the previous page of the document, as against Page Up alone, which scrolls by one screenful.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Remove mark from Equal Column Width check box

While Equal column width is ticked, one width applies to every column, so only the first box needs to be filled in and the others are greyed out. Clearing the tick lets each column be given its own width and enables the remaining boxes.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Moves the cursor one paragraph up

Ctrl with a vertical arrow moves by paragraph, so Ctrl + Up goes to the start of the previous paragraph.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Cut and Paste

Moving means the text leaves its old place, and that is what cut does. Copy leaves the original where it was, so copy and paste duplicates rather than moves.
