2. The Clipboard stores up to ____ items. 

Explanation

The Clipboard stores up to 24 items. This means that the Clipboard has the capacity to hold a maximum of 24 pieces of copied or cut content, such as text, images, or files. Once the Clipboard reaches its limit of 24 items, any new item copied or cut will replace the oldest item in the Clipboard. This allows users to easily access and paste previously copied or cut content without having to recopy it.

Submit
3. A(n) ____ is a space inserted between the margin and where the line of text appears. 

Explanation

An indent is a space inserted between the margin and where the line of text appears. It is used to visually separate paragraphs or to highlight specific sections of a document. By indenting a line of text, it helps to create a clear and organized layout, making it easier for readers to follow the flow of the content.

Submit
4. In Overtype mode, new text replaces the existing text.

Explanation

In Overtype mode, the new text that is typed will replace the existing text. This means that when you type in Overtype mode, any characters you enter will overwrite the characters that were already there. This is different from Insert mode, where new text is inserted at the cursor position without deleting any existing text. Therefore, the statement "In Overtype mode, new text replaces the existing text" is true.

Submit
5. When you use the mouse to drag selected text from the existing location and then drop the selected text in a new location, it is called ____. 

Explanation

When you use the mouse to drag selected text from the existing location and then drop it in a new location, it is referred to as "Drag-And-Drop Editing." This term describes the action of physically moving selected text within a document or application using the mouse cursor. It allows for easy rearrangement of text or content, enhancing the user's ability to edit and organize their work efficiently.

Submit
6. Case 13-1Kiyo works at a coffee shop. Lately, employees have been forgetting to complete some important tasks before closing. She needs to create a sign on a regular sheet of paper that lists the store's closing procedures. The steps must be followed in order and the sign must be easy to read.Which format should Kiyo use for listing the steps of the closing procedures?

Explanation

Kiyo should use numbering to list the steps of the closing procedures. Numbering the steps will provide a clear and organized structure, making it easier for employees to follow the correct order. It will also help in ensuring that no step is missed. Additionally, numbering will make the sign easy to read and understand, as each step will be clearly distinguished and stand out from the others.

Submit
7. A manual page break will remain where you insert it until it is deleted.

Explanation

A manual page break is a command used in word processing software to force a new page to start. Once a manual page break is inserted, it will stay in that position until it is intentionally removed or deleted. This means that any content added after the page break will be placed on a new page. Therefore, the statement "A manual page break will remain where you insert it until it is deleted" is true.

Submit
8. The Remington Company was the first to offer a typewriter that could print both upper- and lowercase letters with the addition of the ____ key. 

Explanation

The Remington Company was the first to offer a typewriter that could print both upper- and lowercase letters with the addition of the Shift key. The Shift key allows the user to switch between uppercase and lowercase characters by pressing it simultaneously with the desired letter key. This innovation revolutionized typewriting by providing greater flexibility and convenience in creating documents with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters.

Submit
9. Bullets are used to list items when order does not matter.

Explanation

Bullets are commonly used in lists to present information in a concise and organized manner. Unlike numbered lists, bullet points do not imply any specific order or hierarchy. Each item in a bulleted list is considered equal in importance and can be read in any order. Therefore, the statement that bullets are used when order does not matter is correct.

Submit
10. The default line spacing in Word is double spacing.

Explanation

The default line spacing in Word is not double spacing. It is actually set to single spacing.

Submit
11. The ____ is the blank space around the edges of the page. 

Explanation

The margin refers to the blank space around the edges of the page. It is the area between the content and the edge of the page where no text or images are placed. The purpose of having margins is to provide visual appeal and improve readability by creating a clear separation between the content and the edge of the page.

Submit
12. Case 13-1Kiyo works at a coffee shop. Lately, employees have been forgetting to complete some important tasks before closing. She needs to create a sign on a regular sheet of paper that lists the store's closing procedures. The steps must be followed in order and the sign must be easy to read.Which point size and text color should Kiyo choose for listing the closing procedures on the white paper sign? 

Explanation

Kiyo should choose 48 pt yellow for listing the closing procedures on the white paper sign. A larger font size like 48 pt will make the sign easy to read, especially from a distance. Yellow color will provide good visibility and contrast against the white background, ensuring that the procedures are easily noticeable. This combination of a large font size and a bright color will help in effectively conveying the closing procedures to the employees and reducing the chances of forgetting important tasks before closing.

Submit
13. The ____ command provides statistics about your document that include the number of pages, sentences, lines, and characters as well as how many words are in your document.

Submit
16. To create a manual line break, press the ____ key. 

Explanation

Pressing the Enter key creates a manual line break. This key is commonly used to move the cursor to the beginning of the next line, allowing the user to start a new paragraph or add spacing between lines of text.

Submit
17. As you enter text, Word automatically checks the spelling of each word against its standard thesaurus.

Explanation

Word does not check the spelling of each word against its standard thesaurus automatically. While Word does have a built-in spell check feature, it does not use the thesaurus to check for spelling errors. The thesaurus is a separate tool in Word that provides synonyms and antonyms for words, but it is not directly involved in the spell check process. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
18. To ____ the text means to remove the selection. 

Explanation

To "deselect" the text means to remove the selection. This implies that the text was previously selected, either by highlighting or clicking on it, and by deselecting it, the selection is removed.

Submit
19. You can retrieve the contents of the Clipboard by using the ____ command. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "Paste". This is because the "Paste" command allows you to retrieve the contents of the Clipboard and insert them at a desired location. It is commonly used to transfer or duplicate data that has been previously copied or cut.

Submit
20. You can undo and redo multiple actions at one time.

Explanation

You can undo and redo multiple actions at one time, which means that you have the ability to reverse and redo several actions in a sequence. This feature is commonly found in various software applications, allowing users to easily correct mistakes or backtrack through their actions. By selecting the undo option, the previous actions are reversed, while the redo option allows the user to reapply those actions. This functionality enhances productivity and flexibility in tasks, as it provides the opportunity to experiment and make changes without the fear of irreversible consequences.

Submit
21. Sometimes an action cannot be reversed.

Explanation

This statement is true because there are certain actions or decisions that once taken, cannot be undone or reversed. These irreversible actions may have long-lasting consequences or impacts that cannot be easily undone or changed. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider the potential consequences before taking any action that cannot be reversed.

Submit
22. If you accidentally delete or replace selected text, click the ____ button. 

Explanation

To recover deleted or replaced text, the appropriate action is to use the "Undo" button. This button allows the user to reverse the most recent action and restore the previous state of the text. The "Redo" button, on the other hand, is used to reapply an action that was previously undone. The options "Repeat" and "Edit" are unrelated to recovering deleted or replaced text.

Submit
23. The ____ feature suggests the spelling for frequently used words and phrases. 

Explanation

The AutoComplete feature suggests the spelling for frequently used words and phrases. This feature is commonly found in word processing software and text editors, where it predicts and completes words or phrases as the user types. It helps to save time and improve accuracy by offering suggestions based on the user's input and previously entered text.

Submit
24. A bibliography for a report is usually formatting with ____. 

Explanation

A bibliography for a report is usually formatted with hanging indents.

The Find command allows users to search for specific text within a document and locate all instances of that text. This will help John easily identify and make any necessary changes or edits to the word "state" in his paper.

Submit
26. In ____, when you enter new text in front of existing text, the existing text shifts to the right to make room for the new text. 

Explanation

In insert mode, when you enter new text in front of existing text, the existing text shifts to the right to make room for the new text. This allows for easy editing and inserting of new content without overwriting or deleting the existing text.

Submit
27. Text color and underline are examples of paragraph formats.

Explanation

Text color and underline are examples of character formats, not paragraph formats. Paragraph formats include alignment, indentation, and spacing, while character formats refer to the appearance of individual characters, such as font, size, color, and style.

Submit

Explanation

If you undo an action and then change your mind, you can reverse the undo action by using the "Redo" command.

Submit
29. The location of a ____ will change when you add or delete text so that each page remains completely filled with text. 

Explanation

A soft page break is a feature in word processing software that automatically adjusts the location of text when you add or delete text so that each page remains completely filled.

This ensures that the text flows smoothly and evenly throughout the document, maintaining the desired formatting and layout.

Submit
30. You can use the ____ button to quickly copy formatting to other text and objects. 

Explanation

The Format Painter button allows users to quickly copy the formatting of text and objects and apply it to other elements in a document. This feature is especially useful when there is a consistent style or formatting that needs to be applied to multiple sections or elements within a document. By selecting the desired formatting and then clicking on the Format Painter button, users can easily replicate the formatting elsewhere without the need to manually adjust each element individually.

Submit
31. The Redo button exchanges with the ____ button on the Quick Access Toolbar when you undo an action. 

Explanation

When you undo an action, the Redo button exchanges with the Repeat button on the Quick Access Toolbar. This means that if you want to redo the action that you just undid, you can click on the Repeat button instead of searching for the Redo button. The Repeat button essentially serves the same purpose as the Redo button in this context.

Submit
