    Correct Answer
    A. Format margins
    Explanation

  • 11. 

    Overtype mode is Word's default mode.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is "Overtype mode is Word's default mode." The correct answer is False. This means that the statement is incorrect. Overtype mode is not Word's default mode. In Word, the default mode is the Insert mode, where new text is inserted at the cursor position without deleting any existing text. Overtype mode, on the other hand, replaces the existing text as you type, which is not the default behavior in Word.

    A. Creating new graphics
    Explanation
    Editing refers to making changes or modifications to a piece of content. In this context, the question is asking which option does not fall under the category of editing. The answer "creating new graphics" is the correct choice because it involves the act of generating entirely new visual elements, rather than making alterations to existing content. The other options, such as adding new text, deleting graphics, and moving text, all involve modifying or manipulating the existing content in some way.
