    • Normal

    • Print layout

    • Web layout

    • Outline

    Correct Answer
    A. Print layout
    Explanation
    The "print layout" view is the correct answer because it shows graphics as they will appear on a printed page. This view is useful for users who want to see how their graphics will look when printed, allowing them to make any necessary adjustments before printing.

  • 3. 

    Which setting cannot be changed using the Print dialog box?

    • Default printer

    • Number of copies

    • Range of pages to print

    • Page margins

    Correct Answer
    A. Page margins
    Explanation
    The page margins cannot be changed using the Print dialog box. The Print dialog box allows users to select the default printer, specify the number of copies to print, and choose the range of pages to print. However, it does not provide an option to adjust the page margins. This setting typically needs to be adjusted in the document or page layout settings before printing.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which feature would you use to correct words that you frequently misspell as you type?

    • Spelling and Grammar

    • Synonyms

    • AutoCorrect

    • AutoTextEntry

    Correct Answer
    A. AutoCorrect
    Explanation
    AutoCorrect is the feature that would be used to correct words that are frequently misspelled while typing. This feature automatically corrects common spelling mistakes as you type, making it easier to produce error-free text. It saves time and effort by automatically replacing misspelled words with their correct counterparts, improving the overall accuracy of the written content.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    All of the following tasks can be accomplished using WORD except

    • Add a photo to a document

    • Copy and move text

    • Create web pages

    • Create slide shows

    Correct Answer
    A. Create slide shows
    Explanation
    Microsoft Word is primarily a word processing program that allows users to create and edit documents. While it does have some basic formatting options for adding images and tables, it does not have the capability to create slide shows or web pages. For creating slide shows, PowerPoint is the recommended software, and for creating web pages, programs like Microsoft FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver are commonly used. Therefore, the correct answer is "create slide shows."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a distributed computing system?

    • Scalability

    • Fault tolerance 

    • Centralized processing 

    • Load balancing

    Correct Answer
    A. Load balancing
    Explanation
    Distributed computing systems are designed to distribute processing tasks across multiple computers or nodes, rather than relying on a centralized processing unit. This decentralization enhances scalability, fault tolerance, and load balancing capabilities, allowing for efficient resource utilization and improved system performance.

    • Q

    Correct Answer
    A. X
    Explanation
    Pressing Ctrl + X allows you to cut text. The "X" key is commonly associated with the "cut" function in many text editing programs. When you select a piece of text and press Ctrl + X, the selected text is removed from its current location and copied to the clipboard. This allows you to move or paste the text elsewhere.

    Rate this question:

    All of the following are found on the title bar, except

    • Type a question for help box

    • Program name

    • Resizing buttons

    • Filename

    Correct Answer
    A. Type a question for help box
    Explanation
    The question is asking for an item that is not found on the title bar. The title bar typically includes the program name, resizing buttons, and the filename of the current document. However, the "type a question for help box" is not a common element found on the title bar.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    When you use the Exit command, what happens?

    • The Word program window closes

    • The Save As dialog box opens

    • The current document closes, leaving the program open

    • The Word program is minimized to the task bar

    Correct Answer
    A. The current document closes, leaving the program open
    Explanation
    When you choose the Exit command in Word, it initiates the closure of the current document you're working on, ensuring any changes are saved if prompted. However, unlike closing the entire Word program, which would terminate all open documents and close the application entirely, using the Exit command leaves the Word program itself open, enabling you to continue working on other documents or perform additional tasks without interruption. This feature streamlines workflow efficiency by allowing users to seamlessly transition between documents within the same program window, enhancing productivity and convenience.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What happens when you click the Redo button?

    • The change you just reversed is restored.

    • The last action you took is reversed.

    • The last text you typed is inserted into the document.

    • The text is placed on the Office Clipboard.

    Correct Answer
    A. The change you just reversed is restored.
    Explanation
    When you click the Redo button, the action that you previously reversed is restored. This means that any changes or modifications that you had undone using the Undo button will be reversed and brought back to their original state. It allows you to redo or reapply the changes that you had previously undone.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The name of which command on the Edit menu changes depending on the last action you took?

    • Repeat

    • Copy

    • Paste

    • Office Clipboard

    Correct Answer
    A. Repeat
    Explanation
    The name of the "Repeat" command on the Edit menu changes depending on the last action you took. This command allows you to repeat the last action you performed, so the name of the command will reflect the specific action that can be repeated. For example, if the last action you took was to format text, the "Repeat" command may be labeled as "Repeat Format" or something similar. This dynamic labeling helps users easily identify and repeat the specific action they want to perform again.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which command do you use if you want to use a wizard to create a document?

    • Template

    • New

    • Open

    • Wizard

    Correct Answer
    A. New
    Explanation
    To use a wizard to create a document, you would use the "New" command. This command allows you to start a new document using a predefined template or wizard, which guides you through the document creation process step by step. By selecting the "New" command, you can access various templates and wizards that help you create different types of documents efficiently and easily.

    Pressing the F4 key allows you to repeat the last change made to a document. This is a commonly used shortcut in many applications, including word processors and text editors. By pressing F4, you can quickly and easily apply the same formatting or action to multiple sections of the document without having to manually repeat the process.
