MS Office Questions and Answers

Answer: B

To make a copy of the current document on disk, use the 'Save as' command.

Save As writes the open document to a new file, with a new name, location or format, while the original file on disk stays as it was. That gives a second copy of the document.

The plain Save command only updates the existing file under its current name, so no copy is made. Word-processing programs such as MS Word have no standard 'Duplicate' or 'Create copy' command for this purpose.

Answer: C

Correct answer: misspelled

AutoCorrect was built to catch common typing errors - teh for the - and replace them as soon as the word is finished. It was later extended to expand abbreviations and insert symbols, but its original purpose was spelling.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Ctrl + Shift + Enter inserts a column break, ending the current column and moving the text to the top of the next. Ctrl + Enter inserts a page break, which is the same idea one level up.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Moves the cursor one word right

Adding Ctrl to a left or right arrow changes the unit of movement from one character to one word, so Ctrl + Right jumps to the start of the next word.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Press F7

F7 runs the spelling and grammar check, in Word as in Excel and Access. Shift + F7 opens the thesaurus.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Spelling and Grammar

Before a document goes to anyone else it should be checked for errors, which is what the Spelling and Grammar command does. Find, Replace and the thesaurus are editing aids rather than checks.

Answer: B

Correct answer: No Outline

In Word's drawing tools a shape has a fill and an outline, so removing its border is done by setting Shape Outline to No Outline. No Line is the corresponding wording in some older versions and in Excel, but Word's shape tools use Outline.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both A and B

A watermark may be text - DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL - or a picture such as a logo, printed faintly behind the body text in either case.

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.
