    Font numbers refer to...

    • The position of the text

    • Paper size

    • The size of the text

    • The amount of memory in the hard drive

    Correct Answer
    A. The size of the text
    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. The higher the font number, the larger the text size. This allows users to adjust the size of the text according to their preferences or the requirements of the document or design.

    Which is not a good way to proofread a document?

    • Quickly glance over it

    • Use spell check

    • Use grammar check

    • Read it thoroughly

    Correct Answer
    A. Quickly glance over it
    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.

    • Cut and Paste

    Correct Answer

    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.

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

    • Information that can be found on a disc

    • Information that is contained within the computer

    • Increasing the memory

    • Information that can be found on the keyboard or mouse

    Correct Answer
    A. Information that is contained within the computer
    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.

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

    • Write the information by hand

    • Use a template

    • Start with a blank document and create using different text properties

    • Simply write information on a post-it fax memo

    Correct Answer
    A. Use a template
    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.

    • Just read through and find where you need to make the changes

    • Use the "insert" function and type in Jill

    • Change the view of the document

    • Use "Find and Replace"

    Correct Answer
    A. Use "Find and Replace"
    Explanation

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.
