When we don't want a single line of a paragraph to be left on another page, we turn on:
Answer:
Widow and Orphan control
"Widow/Orphan control" is a paragraph formatting option that prevents this situation. A "widow" is the last line of a paragraph left by itself at the top of a new page, and an "orphan" is the first line of a paragraph left by itself at the bottom of a page. This feature keeps at least two lines of a paragraph together.

How would you make an item in a multi-level list change level?
Answer:
Tab & Shift Tab
When working with a multilevel (outline) list in Word, the easiest way to change an item's level is with the keyboard. Pressing the Tab key will demote the item (e.g., from level 1 to 2), and pressing Shift + Tab will promote it (e.g., from level 2 to 1). The Indent/Outdent buttons also work.

Uppercase on the Change Case dialog box and All Caps on the Fonts dialog box both convert selected text into capital letters. What's the difference between the two?
Answer:
Change Case makes conversion permanent, but All Caps on Font can always be reverted
"Change Case > UPPERCASE" actually replaces the lowercase characters with their uppercase equivalents. This is a permanent edit. The "All Caps" option in the Font dialog box, however, is a formatting effect. It displays the text as capitals but doesn't change the underlying characters, meaning you can simply uncheck the box to revert to the original case.

What is the maximum scale percentage available in the Scale drop-down box?
Answer:
200
The "Scale" option in the Font dialog box lets you stretch or compress characters horizontally. The predefined options available in the drop-down menu go up to a maximum of 200%, which makes the characters twice as wide as normal.
7705
Which of the following positions is not available for fonts on MS Word?
Answer:
Centered
The Font dialog box allows you to adjust the vertical position of characters relative to the baseline. You can choose "Normal," "Raised," or "Lowered." "Centered" refers to paragraph alignment (horizontal positioning) and is not a font position option.
7706
Which of the following is not available in Font Spacing?
Answer:
Loosely
The character spacing options in the Font dialog box of Microsoft Word allow you to adjust the space between characters. The standard options are "Normal," "Expanded" (which adds space), and "Condensed" (which reduces space). "Loosely" is not a standard option.

There can be many ways to insert a page number in a document. Which of the following lets you insert a page number?

Suppose you wanted to create an AutoCorrect entry that would type the words 'We regret to inform you that your submission has been declined'. Of the following choices, which would be the best name you could assign to this entry?
Answer:
Regret
The purpose of AutoCorrect is to replace a short, easy-to-type abbreviation with a longer phrase. A good name for the entry is a short, memorable word that is unlikely to be typed by mistake. "Regret" is a concise and relevant choice. Using the full phrase as the name defeats the purpose.
7709
Which of the following symbol sets would be most likely to contain a mathematical symbol such as a degree sign, greater than or equal to, or a Greek letter?
Answer:
Symbol
The "Symbol" font is a specialized font that does not contain standard alphabetic characters. Instead, it is composed entirely of symbols, including Greek letters, mathematical operators, and other scientific characters. Wingdings and Webdings contain pictorial symbols and icons.
7710
Which of the following statement is false?
Answer:
You can set different header and footer for the last page of a section
Microsoft Word provides options for unique headers and footers for the first page of a document or section, as well as different ones for odd and even pages. However, it does not have a built-in feature to set a unique header or footer specifically for only the last page of a section.
