You might use a Left Indent when you want to draw attention to a specific block of text. Right Indent increases the amount of space from the right margin for all text in the paragraph. You might use a Right Indent (especially in combination with a Left Indent) to isolate or draw attention to a particular block of text amid the rest of the document text. First Line Indent increases the amount of space from the left margin for only the first line of text in the paragraph. You might use it to adhere to standard paragraph layout.

Setting margins controls the amount of white space and affects the number of pages in the document.2.How do pagination settings control the text flow in a document?Pagination settings can control how lines and paragraphs behave in a document when they are near the bottom of a page and how they might flow to the top of the next page. For instance, you can add an option to break a page at the beginning of a paragraph of text to tell Word that this text must always start on a new page.3.Explain the difference between a soft and manual page break.A soft page break occurs when you run out of space at the bottom of a page and Word moves you to a new page to enter more text. A manual page break is a code you insert into a document indicating you want to end the page at this location and go to the next page.4.Explain what the different section breaks are and how you might use each one.There are four different section breaks: Next Page can be used when you want to begin a new page for a specific reason, such as you want to change the orientation to landscape; Continuous section breaks indicate to Word that something will change on the same page - for instance, changing the text layout to multiple columns; Odd Page or Even Page to set the page to print on the odd or even numbered page as with a double-sided report – an example would be a book where the page numbers of each page are arranged to appear on the outside edge of both left and right-hand pages.5.What is the difference between a column break and a page break?A column break (inserted by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter) forces text to the top of the next column. A page break (inserted by pressing Ctrl+Enter) forces text to the next page, regardless of any formatting that has been applied to the text previously.6.Explain what a header or footer is.Headers are text or graphics that appear at the top of every page and footers are text or graphics that appear at the bottom of every page.7.What can a watermark consist of?A watermark can consist of any type of text, graphic, shape, or picture that you want to appear behind the text of each page in a document.8.How can you use themes?Themes are sets of integrated document designs (color schemes and fonts) that enhance your online documents by using colors, fonts and graphics.

These style sets can provide a professional look to a document.10.Explain the difference between spelling errors, grammatical errors, and contextual text errors as they appear in the Spelling & Grammar checker.The spelling portion of the feature checks for incorrect spelling, duplicate words, and incorrect capitalization. The grammar portion of the feature uses natural language grammar to detect sentences with grammatical errors or weak writing style, based on standards set in the language used to check your spelling and grammar. Contextual errors refer to words that have the same sound, but different spellings and meanings.11.Discuss why you might want to preview a document before printing.You should preview your document for overall page layout to ensure page breaks occur in the correct location, graphics are positioned appropriately, or that the overall design of the document is pleasing.12.Give examples of why you might want to change the print options for a document.Changing print options enables you to select the printer, decide how you want to print, what you want to print along with the document, or to add properties to the file.Lesson 51.Explain the difference between borders and the gridlines on a table.A border is a line around cells in a table that appears on the printed document. Gridlines are dashed lines on the screen designed as a guide to show the column and row edges– they do not appear on the printed document.2.How can you create a new table?You can create a new table using the Table command in the Insert tab. Once this command is active, you can drag in a grid to specify the number of columns and rows for the table; click Insert Table to display a dialog box where you can set specific options for the table; or click Draw Table to draw the rows and columns for a table.3.If you want to insert a row between the title and the column headings in the following table, in which row would you place the cursor?Word gives you the option to insert a row above or below the selected row.4.Provide an example of when you would merge several cells.You would merge cells when you want all the selected cells to become one cell – for example, to hold a table title or to accommodate more data. 5.What alignment options are available for text within tables?You can align text horizontally (left, center, or right), vertically (top, center, or bottom), or rotate the text by 90° - except upside down format.6.How can you change the alignment of an entire table, relevant to the page on which it appears?Under Table Tools, click the Layout tab and in the Table group, click Properties. Then on the Table tab, click the desired alignment. Alignment for this option refers to aligning the table relative to the page margins.7.Which symbol does Word automatically insert when you activate the Formula command?Word inserts the equal sign = as the start of a formula.

The second action you may need to take is to edit the pasted formulas to ensure the formulas reference the correct cells. 9.You need to convert a sales report from a Word table to a format that will enable the report to be imported into Excel. Which separator character should you select when converting the table?While you could use any of the separator characters, the most commonly-recognized delimiter character for spreadsheet programs is the comma.10.What is a header row and how can it help you when sorting a list?A header row is the row at the top of a columnar report that identifies the names of the contents for each column of information (these are commonly known as column titles). Having a header row helps when sorting a list because the column titles appear in the list to help you select which columns to use for the sort order.Lesson 61.Explain the difference between using the Insert Pictures and the Insert Online Pictures commands.When you insert a picture, you need to navigate to the location where the picture file is currently stored. When you use the Insert Online Pictures command, you can choose to search or Bing for picture files.2.Before you use an image, what do you need to consider regarding possible copyright infringement?Any image you use other than those created by you or your organization is considered copyrighted by the owner of that image.

Often a diagram is easier to interpret a process or structure than to describe it in text form. Many of the SmartArt diagrams were designed based on commonly used types of charts found in business documentation. This feature saves you time from having to create the objects for the charts individually, requiring you only to enter the text or add/remove objects from a preset diagram, as required.Lesson 71.Why is it important to reference information you may use as part of your research for a document?It is important to reference information to ensure that you do not infringe upon anyone's copyright. Properly referencing your sources prevents any occurrences of plagiarism and also provides credit to the creator of the research information.2.Why might you want to create a text box using the Insert tab instead of simply drawing the text box?While both features create a text box, when you use the command on the Insert tab, you are choosing a feature that includes a gallery of different text box styles for various purposes such as a panel or quote. The text boxes in this gallery have been pre-designed thereby saving you time when creating and modifying the text within the box.3.Why might you want to link text boxes?When you are creating a specific type of document where text boxes are to be used to flow text such as a brochure or newsletter, using the link option enables Word to determine how much text can flow from one box to another. This is similar to using columns. The text boxes can be resized appropriately to add or reduce the amount of text in each box.4.Which text labels can you use if you want to add a caption to a picture?Although Word comes with the default labels of Figure, Label, or Equation, you can add any text into a label for a caption.5.How can a table of figures be beneficial in a document?Use a table of figures to list all the figures or labeled captions in the document for quick reference.6.Which note type is usually found at the bottom of the page where it is referenced?a.Endnoteb.Footnote7.If you don’t have the full information for a reference source, what can you do to mark the location where you will eventually cite the source?You can insert a citation placeholder to mark the location where you will later cite the source of the reference information.8.Why select the Show All Bibliography Fields option in the Create a Source dialog box?Use this field to display all information you entered into the fields for this source when the bibliography is generated.9.Why might you want to use the Edit button in the Create a Source or Manage Sources dialog box?Use the Edit button to add more names to the list of people who contributed to the reference cited.10.To generate a bibliography for all sources, which option would you use from the Bibliography pull-down menu?Use the Insert Bibliography option to generate a bibliography for all the sources cited in the document, regardless of how much information was entered for the source.Lesson 81.What is the difference between the commands that display the drop-down menu for the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button versus the commands that display on the Customize Quick Access Toolbar screen within the Word Options dialog box?The commands that display on the Customize Quick Access Toolbar list are ones considered to be frequently used by the majority of users. These commands can also be found in the Customize Quick Access toolbar command of the Word Options dialog box, but are part of the full list of commands that can be added to the Quick Access toolbar.2.What is the purpose of the checkbox at the left of each ribbon tab name in the Customize Ribbon screen of the Word Options dialog box?You can select or deselect the check box to toggle the display of the ribbon tab on or off. 3.What could you do if you wanted to access those commands you frequently use on the various ribbon tabs from one location?You can create a new ribbon tab with new groups where you can add and organize the commands you use most. Then display this new tab in the ribbon.4.Explain what a Quick Part is.Quick Parts are building blocks that you use often, such as headers, footers, tables, cover pages, or signatures.5.What is the purpose of the Building Blocks Organizer?You use the Building Blocks Organizer to manage, edit, and maintain Quick Parts and other building blocks. Quick Parts are arranged into specific galleries, and then into categories within each gallery. You can sort the entries by the name, gallery, category, or template in which they are stored. You can also insert, delete, or edit these entries, as required.6.What is the purpose of the Building Blocks template?The Building Blocks template stores all the entries for the Quick Parts saved for Word. As you create, modify or delete gallery entries, these changes are tracked in the Building Blocks template and the template should be saved when you exit Word so the changes are saved as well.7.How do macros differ from Quick Parts?Both macros and Quick Parts can save you time. While you use Quick Parts to insert formatted text and graphics, you can use macros to insert formatted text and graphics, make configuration changes, and run commands. 8.When recording a macro, how do you access items such as commands or text?When recording a macro, use the mouse to click commands and options. To record movements with text, you need to use the keyboard to type the text. 9.How can you edit a macro?You can edit a macro by recording the macro over again or by opening the Visual Basic Editor to edit the code for the macro. 10.Why is it important to check the settings for macro security?Maintaining a sufficient level of security for macros reduces the possibility of damage to your documents or system from a macro virus. Exercise caution before opening any document that has been saved as a macro-enabled document. ................
