1. How do we know if a word is spelled incorrectly?

Explanation

When a word is spelled incorrectly, a red wavy line appears under it. This is a common feature in many word processing programs and spell-check tools. The red wavy line serves as a visual indicator to alert the user that there may be a spelling mistake in the word. By recognizing the presence of the red wavy line, we can infer that the word is spelled incorrectly.

5. Why would we want to change the line spacing?

Explanation

We would want to change the line spacing for multiple reasons. Firstly, changing the line spacing allows us to print out a copy and make corrections right under problem places, making it easier to identify and fix errors. Secondly, adjusting the line spacing can make the document easier to read, enhancing its readability and comprehension. Lastly, increasing the line spacing can add length to our document, which may be necessary in certain situations. Therefore, all of the given options provide valid reasons for wanting to change the line spacing.

6. Under what tab and tool can we find characters not on a standard keyboard?

Explanation

In Microsoft Office, the Insert tab is where you can find various tools and options for adding different elements to your document, such as tables, pictures, and symbols. The symbols tool specifically allows you to insert characters that are not readily available on a standard keyboard, such as special symbols, mathematical symbols, and foreign language characters.

8. What does the format painter do?

Explanation

The format painter allows us to copy the format of a section of text to other sections of our document with ease. This means that we can easily apply the same formatting, such as font style, size, color, and alignment, to multiple sections of our document without having to manually adjust each section individually. This saves time and ensures consistency in the formatting throughout the document.
