The other columns are inactive when you've selected 3 columns. How will you activate those boxes?
Answer:
Remove the mark from "Equal column width"
In the Columns dialog box, if the "Equal column width" checkbox is marked, Word automatically manages the width of all columns to be the same, and the individual width and spacing boxes are grayed out (inactive). To activate them and set custom widths, you must first uncheck this box.
7692
If the number of columns is selected as 1 and the "line between" checkbox is marked, where is the line drawn?
Answer:
None of the above
The "line between" option is only effective when there are two or more columns. It draws a vertical line in the space *between* the columns. If there is only one column, there is no space between columns, so no line will be drawn.

What is the smallest width of a column?
Answer:
0.5"
In Microsoft Word, when setting the width for newspaper-style columns, the program enforces a minimum allowable width. This minimum is typically 0.5 inches to ensure that text remains readable and the layout is functional.
7694
How can you break the current column and start a new column immediately?
Answer:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter inserts a column break. This forces all subsequent text to move to the beginning of the next column, which is useful for balancing the layout of text across columns on a page.
7695
Which of the following is used to create newspaper-style columns?
Answer:
Page Layout, Columns
To format text into newspaper-style columns where text flows from the bottom of one column to the top of the next, you use the Columns feature. This is located on the "Page Layout" (or "Layout") tab of the ribbon.
7696
Where can you change the vertical alignment?
Answer:
Page Setup dialog box
Vertical alignment determines how the content is positioned between the top and bottom margins of a page (e.g., top, center, justified). This page-level setting is found on the "Layout" tab within the "Page Setup" dialog box.
7697
Which option is not available in Insert Table Autofit behavior?
Answer:
AutoFit to Column
When inserting a table in Word, the AutoFit options allow you to control column behavior. You can set a fixed width, have columns automatically resize to fit their content, or have the table expand to fit the width of the page (window). "AutoFit to Column" is not a standard option.
7698
How many columns can you insert in a Word document at maximum?
Answer:
45
In older versions of Microsoft Word (such as Word 97-2003), the maximum number of newspaper-style columns that could be created on a single page was 45. Newer versions have increased this limit to 63.
7699
How can you make letters appear Hollow?
Answer:
Format it to outline
To make text appear hollow, you need to use the "Outline" font effect. This can be found in the Font dialog box or in the Text Effects options. It removes the fill color from the characters, leaving only the border or outline visible.

Which formatting type makes both margins of a block of text equally straight?
Answer:
Justified
Justified alignment (or "Justify") is a paragraph format where Word adjusts the spacing between words so that the text lines up perfectly straight along both the left and right margins. This creates a clean, block-like appearance, common in newspapers and books.
