Answer: D

Correct answer: Copy the selected text

C for Copy, which places the selection on the clipboard without removing it. Ctrl + X cuts and Ctrl + V pastes.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Copies formatting from one selection and applies it to another

The Format Painter copies the formatting - font, size, colour, spacing, indentation - from selected text and applies it elsewhere, leaving the content untouched. Its usual behaviour is to apply the formatting once and then switch itself off. Double-clicking the button locks it on, so the formatting can be applied to several places in turn until Escape is pressed - a detail that saves a great deal of time and is frequently examined. Its icon is a paintbrush, which is where the name comes from. The keyboard equivalent is Ctrl + Shift + C to copy formatting and Ctrl + Shift + V to apply it. For consistency across a long document, styles are the better tool: they define formatting centrally so that changing the style updates every paragraph using it, whereas the Format Painter copies formatting one instance at a time.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both of the above

Ctrl + Page Down moves to the next page and Ctrl + Page Up to the previous one, so both are needed to move page by page in either direction.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Print Layout

Print Layout shows the page exactly as it will print, including margins, headers, footers, page breaks, columns and floating images. It is the default view for that reason. The other views each serve a different purpose. Draft hides headers, footers and graphics to show text in a continuous stream, which makes editing faster on a long document. Web Layout shows the document as it would appear in a browser, with text wrapping to the window rather than to a page. Outline displays the document by heading level and allows whole sections to be collapsed, promoted, demoted or moved - the most efficient way to restructure a long report. Read Mode is a fifth view, arranging the text in screen-sized columns for reading rather than editing. Views are switched from the View tab or from the buttons at the right of the status bar.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Ctrl+M

Ctrl + M increases the left indent by one tab stop and Ctrl + Shift + M decreases it.

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of the above

A merge can be previewed record by record, and its output can be sent straight to the printer or gathered into a new document for checking first.
