    How text is arranged around an image or object

    Explanation
    Text wrapping refers to the way text is arranged around an image or object in a document. It allows the text to flow around the image or object, creating a visually appealing layout. This feature is commonly used in word processing software and design programs to enhance the overall presentation of the document. By wrapping the text, it avoids overlapping with the image or object, ensuring that the content remains readable and organized.

  • 3. 

    Way of manually ending page or column and beginning a new page or column.

    Explanation
    A break is a way of manually ending a page or column and beginning a new one. It allows for better organization and layout of content, especially in documents or publications with multiple pages or columns. By inserting a break, the user can control where the content flows and ensure that it starts on a new page or column as desired. This can be particularly useful when dealing with long documents or when specific formatting requirements need to be met.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A background color (you “?” any area of the document)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Fill". This suggests that the missing word is related to filling in or coloring a specific area of the document. The phrase "you 'fill' any area of the document" implies that the missing word should be a verb that describes the action of filling or coloring. Therefore, "Fill" is the most suitable answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    To insert a selection from the clipboard into the document.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Paste" because it is the action used to insert a selection from the clipboard into a document. When you copy or cut text or objects, they are stored in the clipboard, and to insert them into a document, you use the paste command. This allows you to easily transfer information from one location to another within the document or between different documents.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    To Delete a selection from its original location and move it to clipboard.

    Explanation
    Cut is the correct answer because it refers to the action of deleting a selected item or text from its original location and moving it to the clipboard. When you cut something, it is temporarily stored in the clipboard, allowing you to paste it elsewhere. This function is commonly used to remove content from one place and transfer it to another within a document or between different documents or applications.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    To create a duplicate of a selection and move it to the clipboard.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Copy" because the action of copying allows you to create a duplicate of a selection and move it to the clipboard. This means that you can make a copy of the selected content without removing it from its original location, and then paste it elsewhere if needed. Copying is a common function used to duplicate information and is often paired with the "Paste" function to transfer the copied content to another location.

  • 8. 

    A temporary storage area

    Explanation
    The term "clipboard" refers to a temporary storage area in a computer's memory where data can be temporarily stored. It is commonly used to store information that has been copied or cut from one location and is intended to be pasted in another location. The clipboard allows users to easily move or duplicate data within a document or between different documents or applications. It acts as a buffer, holding the data until it is pasted or until new data is copied or cut, replacing the existing contents of the clipboard.

Fonts can vary in style, such as bold, italic, or underlined, and can also have different sizes. The term "fonts" is the plural form of "font" and refers to multiple sets of characters with different sizes and styles.

    Combine multiple cells together to create one large cell.

    Explanation
    The term "merge" refers to the action of combining multiple cells into one large cell. This can be done in spreadsheet software or other data management tools to consolidate data or create a more organized layout. By merging cells, the content from each individual cell is combined and displayed in a single, larger cell. This helps to simplify the presentation of data and can be useful for formatting purposes or when working with large datasets.

  • 13. 

    The Vertical cells of a table

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Column,Columns" because in a table, the vertical cells are referred to as columns. A table consists of rows and columns, with each column representing a specific category or type of data. The term "columns" is used in plural form because a table can have multiple vertical cells or columns.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The horizontal cell of a table

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "row, rows" because in a table, the horizontal cells are organized into rows. Each row represents a separate record or set of data. The term "rows" is the plural form of "row" and is used to refer to multiple horizontal cells in a table.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Where the row and columns intersect. (The “Boxes” inside the table)

    Explanation
    The term "cell" refers to a single unit or compartment within a table, where a row and column intersect. It is used to organize and store data in a structured manner. The plural form "cells" indicates multiple units within the table.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Amount of white space between text and the edge of the page.

    Explanation
    The amount of white space between text and the edge of the page is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to improve readability by providing a clear separation between the text and the surrounding elements. This prevents the text from appearing cramped or cluttered, making it easier for the reader to focus on the content. Additionally, white space can also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the page, creating a balanced and visually pleasing layout. Lastly, white space can be utilized strategically to draw attention to specific elements or to create a sense of hierarchy and organization within the design.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Rotating document text so that it displays and prints horizontally across the longer side of the page.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Landscape" because it refers to the orientation of a document where the longer side of the page is used for displaying and printing horizontally. "Land scape" is not a valid answer as it is a misspelling of the correct term.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    The default position for displaying and printing text horizontally across the shorter side of the page.

    Explanation
    Portrait is the default position for displaying and printing text horizontally across the shorter side of the page. In portrait orientation, the page is taller than it is wide, making it ideal for documents that are meant to be read vertically, such as books or letters. This orientation is commonly used for printing documents and is the default setting in most word processing software.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    The flashing vertical line that indicates where the next action will occur in a document on-screen

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Insertion Point". The insertion point is a flashing vertical line that indicates where the next action, such as typing or editing, will occur in a document on-screen. It is also commonly referred to as the cursor or the pointer thing. The other options mentioned, such as "Mouse" and "the weird triangle with a line coming out from the end", do not accurately describe the flashing vertical line that represents the insertion point.
