Explanation

Font numbers refer to the size of the text. In typography, fonts are assigned numerical values to indicate their size. These numbers determine how large or small the text appears on a page or screen.

3. Which is not a good way to proofread a document?

Explanation

Quickly glancing over a document is not a good way to proofread because it increases the chances of missing errors or mistakes. Proofreading requires careful attention to detail, and quickly glancing over a document may result in overlooking spelling or grammar errors. It is important to thoroughly read the document to ensure its accuracy and clarity. Additionally, using spell check and grammar check tools can be helpful, but they should not be relied upon solely as they may not catch all errors.

Explanation

To repeat information or a figure at another location in a document, the most efficient method is to use the "Copy and Paste" function. This involves highlighting the desired selection, copying it, and then pasting it at the desired location. This allows for the information or figure to be easily duplicated without the need to retype or insert it again, saving time and effort.

6. When someone refers to locating information on the computers hard drive, they are referring to:

Explanation

The correct answer is "Information that is contained within the computer." When someone refers to locating information on the computer's hard drive, they are referring to accessing data that is stored within the computer itself. The hard drive is a component of the computer that stores and retrieves data, including files, documents, programs, and other information. It is not referring to information that can be found on a disc, increasing the memory, or information that can be found on the keyboard or mouse.

7. What is the quickest way to create a professional-looking fax cover sheet?

Explanation

Using a template is the quickest way to create a professional-looking fax cover sheet. Templates provide pre-designed formats and layouts that can be easily customized with the necessary information. This saves time and ensures a consistent and professional appearance. Writing the information by hand or starting with a blank document and creating using different text properties would be more time-consuming and may lack the polished look of a template. Simply writing information on a post-it fax memo would not provide a professional appearance.

Submit
8. You have just discovered that everywhere in your document that you refer to Jane, you need to change the name to Jill. The quickest way to make these changes are:

Explanation

The quickest way to make the changes of replacing "Jane" with "Jill" everywhere in the document is to use the "Find and Replace" function. This feature allows you to search for a specific word or phrase (in this case, "Jane") and replace it with another word or phrase (in this case, "Jill") throughout the entire document. By using "Find and Replace," you can quickly and efficiently update all references to "Jane" without manually searching through the document or inserting the new name one by one.

Submit
9. In order to change the text properties, which command on the toolbar do you need to drop down (work within)?

Explanation

To change the text properties, you need to drop down the "Edit" command on the toolbar.

By accessing the "Edit" command, you can make changes to the text properties such as font style, size, color, and alignment.

Submit
