Question 1Manage document options and settings

Which page of the Word Options dialog box contains the boxes for changing the user name and initials?

  1. Advanced
  2. Proofing
  3. General Correct answer.
  4. Display

Explanation

The user name and initials are personalization settings found on the General page of Word Options under Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office. Word stamps these values on comments and tracked changes.

Question 2Manage document options and settings

Which action makes the current font and size the default for all new documents based on the Normal template?

  1. In the Paragraph dialog box, select Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style.
  2. On the Design tab, select a different theme.
  3. On the Home tab, open Change Styles and then select a Style Set.
  4. In the Font dialog box, click Set as Default. Correct answer.

Explanation

The Set as Default button in the Font dialog box writes the chosen font, size, and related formatting into the Normal template, so each new blank document starts with those settings.

Question 3Manage document options and settings

Which feature saves recovery information at fixed intervals so an unsaved document can be restored after Word closes unexpectedly?

  1. AutoRecover Correct answer.
  2. Version History
  3. Document Inspector
  4. AutoSave

Explanation

AutoRecover writes recovery data at an interval set on the Save page of Word Options, and Word offers that data the next time it starts after an unexpected closure. AutoSave behaves differently because it saves the file itself rather than a timed recovery copy.

Question 4Manage document options and settings

Which file name extension does Word apply by default when a document is saved in the current format?

  1. .dotx
  2. .rtf
  3. .docx Correct answer.
  4. .doc

Explanation

Word's default Save files in this format setting is Word Document (*.docx), the XML-based format introduced in Word 2007. Other extensions appear in the list but are not the default.

Question 5Manage document options and settings

A user wants Word to save AutoRecover information every five minutes. Which location contains the interval setting?

  1. File > Options > Advanced
  2. File > Options > Proofing
  3. File > Options > Save Correct answer.
  4. File > Options > General

Explanation

The Save AutoRecover information every n minutes check box and its interval sit on the Save page of Word Options, together with the AutoRecover file location and the default save format.

Question 6Manage document options and settings

A document title bar shows [Compatibility Mode]. Which command upgrades the file to the current Word format?

  1. Review > Restrict Editing
  2. File > Info > Protect Document
  3. File > Options > Advanced > Compatibility options
  4. File > Info > Convert Correct answer.

Explanation

The Convert command on the Info page rewrites the file in the current format and clears Compatibility Mode. The compatibility options on the Advanced page only change layout behavior and leave the file in its original format.

Question 7Manage document options and settings

Which Word Options setting helps a document keep its appearance on a computer that does not have its fonts installed?

  1. Embed fonts in the file Correct answer.
  2. Always create backup copy
  3. Show document tooltips on hover
  4. Update fields before printing

Explanation

Embedding fonts stores the font data inside the document so text renders with the intended typeface on other machines, and the option is set on the Save page of Word Options. It works best with TrueType fonts.

Question 8Manage document options and settings

What is the quickest way to place a frequently used ribbon command on the Quick Access Toolbar?

  1. Right-click the command and choose Add to Quick Access Toolbar. Correct answer.
  2. Copy the command into the Building Blocks gallery.
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+Q while the command is selected.
  4. Drag the command onto the status bar.

Explanation

Right-clicking any ribbon command exposes Add to Quick Access Toolbar, which places a copy of the button on the toolbar above the ribbon. The toolbar can also be edited from Word Options > Quick Access Toolbar.

Question 9Manage document options and settings

A user has customized the ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar and wants to reuse those customizations on another computer. Which file type does the Import/Export command produce?

  1. .dotm
  2. .bak
  3. .xml
  4. .exportedUI Correct answer.

Explanation

The Import/Export button in Word Options > Quick Access Toolbar or Customize Ribbon writes an .exportedUI file containing the ribbon and toolbar customizations, which can then be imported on another installation.

Question 10Manage document options and settings

Which Word Options page contains the check boxes for showing paragraph marks and other formatting marks on screen?

  1. Proofing
  2. Save
  3. Trust Center
  4. Display Correct answer.

Explanation

The Display page of Word Options holds the Always show these formatting marks on the screen check boxes for tab characters, spaces, paragraph marks, and hidden text. The same marks can be toggled temporarily with the Show/Hide button.

Question 11Manage document options and settings

Where is the setting that stops the spelling checker from flagging words typed entirely in capital letters?

  1. Review > Language > Set Proofing Language
  2. File > Options > Display
  3. File > Options > Advanced
  4. File > Options > Proofing Correct answer.

Explanation

The Ignore words in UPPERCASE check box is one of the proofing options that control what the spelling checker skips, and it lives on the Proofing page. Set Proofing Language changes which dictionary applies to the selected text instead.

Question 12Manage document options and settings

Which tool strips comments, tracked changes, and hidden data from a document before it is sent outside the organization?

  1. Document Inspector Correct answer.
  2. Compatibility Checker
  3. Accessibility Checker
  4. Restrict Editing

Explanation

Document Inspector scans the file for comments, revisions, hidden text, personal information, and other metadata, and lets the user delete the categories that are found. The other tools report compatibility or accessibility issues, or limit editing.

Question 13Manage document options and settings

A user needs every new file to be saved as Word 97-2003 Document by default. Which setting accomplishes this?

  1. Set Save files in this format to Word 97-2003 Document. Correct answer.
  2. Select Save to Computer by default on the Save page.
  3. Clear Show the Start screen when this application starts.
  4. Increase the number of recent documents shown on the Display page.

Explanation

The Save files in this format list on the Save page determines the format Word proposes in the Save As dialog box for every document. Compatibility Mode then appears whenever those older-format files are opened.

Question 14Manage document options and settings

A user's new comments show the wrong initials. Where are those initials changed?

  1. Review > Track Changes > Change User Name
  2. File > Options > General > Initials Correct answer.
  3. File > Info > Properties > Advanced Properties
  4. File > Account > Account Privacy

Explanation

Initials are part of the Office user identity set on the General page of Word Options, and Word stamps them on new comments and tracked changes. Existing comments keep the initials they were created with.

Question 15Manage document options and settings

Which template stores the default styles, macros, and page setup that Word applies to every new blank document?

  1. Blank Document.dotx
  2. Normal.dotm Correct answer.
  3. Custom Office Templates folder
  4. Building Blocks.dotx

Explanation

Normal.dotm is the global template Word creates on first run and uses as the basis of new blank documents, so changes such as default fonts are written to it. Other templates only apply when they are explicitly selected.

Question 16Manage document options and settings

A user wants Word to open directly to a blank document instead of the Start screen. Which option controls this?

  1. Clear Show background errors on the Advanced page.
  2. Clear Show document tooltips on hover on the Display page.
  3. Clear Show the Start screen when this application starts. Correct answer.
  4. Select Save to Computer by default on the Save page.

Explanation

The Start screen is controlled by a check box on the General page of Word Options. Clearing it makes Word open to the default template, though it also removes quick access to recent and new files.

Question 17Manage document options and settings

A document is saved with embedded fonts, and recipients must be able to type new text in that font. Which embedding option should be selected?

  1. Do not embed common system fonts
  2. Subset the embedded fonts
  3. Embed all characters Correct answer.
  4. Embed only the characters used

Explanation

Embedding only the characters that are used keeps the file small but restricts recipients to characters already present in the document. Choosing to embed all characters includes the complete font so new text can be typed in it.

Question 18Manage document options and settings

Which Word Options page contains the setting that changes how many recent documents appear in the Backstage view?

  1. Display
  2. Advanced Correct answer.
  3. General
  4. Save

Explanation

The Show this number of Recent Documents setting sits in the Display section of the Advanced page of Word Options. Setting it to zero removes the recent file list from the Open and Info pages.

Question 19Manage document options and settings

Where does a user add a network folder so that documents stored there open without a security warning?

  1. Advanced > File locations
  2. Save > AutoRecover file location
  3. General > Start up options
  4. Trust Center Settings > Trusted Locations Correct answer.

Explanation

Folders listed as trusted locations are treated as safe, so files opened from them skip Protected View and macro security prompts. Trusted locations are managed in the Trust Center rather than in the file locations list.

Question 20Manage document options and settings

A COM add-in is slowing Word down. Which path is used to turn it off?

  1. File > Options > Proofing and clear Check spelling as you type
  2. Developer > Document Template and clear Automatically update document styles
  3. File > Options > Add-ins, then Manage COM Add-ins and click Go Correct answer.
  4. File > Options > Customize Ribbon and clear the add-in's tab

Explanation

The Add-ins page lists active and inactive add-ins and provides a Manage list; selecting COM Add-ins and clicking Go opens the dialog box where an add-in can be cleared. Unloading the add-in stops it from running at start-up.

Question 21Manage document options and settings

What does selecting Always create backup copy on the Save page do?

  1. It saves a copy of the document to OneDrive each time the file is opened.
  2. It stores every earlier version of the file in the Version History list.
  3. It keeps the previous version with a .wbk extension each time the file is saved. Correct answer.
  4. It creates a new copy of the document each time the file is printed.

Explanation

The backup copy setting renames the prior version to a .wbk file in the same folder before the current version is written. It acts on every save and does not create cloud versions or affect printing.

Question 22Manage document options and settings

Which Word Options page holds the check box that hides the Paste Options button that appears after pasting?

  1. General
  2. Display
  3. Advanced Correct answer.
  4. Save

Explanation

The Show Paste Options button when content is pasted check box is in the Cut, copy, and paste section of the Advanced page. Disabling it only hides the button, and the underlying paste behavior is unchanged.

Question 23Manage document options and settings

Which command changes the language that the spelling and grammar checkers use for the selected text?

  1. File > Options > Language > Add a language
  2. Review > Editor > Settings
  3. Review > Language > Set Proofing Language Correct answer.
  4. Review > Language > Translate

Explanation

Set Proofing Language assigns a proofing language to the selected text so the correct dictionary is applied. The Language options on the Word Options page control which languages are installed and which display and Help languages are used.

Question 24Manage document options and settings

For files stored in which location does the AutoSave switch continuously save changes?

  1. OneDrive or SharePoint Correct answer.
  2. A network share opened read-only
  3. A removable USB drive
  4. A folder on a local hard disk

Explanation

AutoSave is available only for files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, where Word can save changes in the background. Files on local or removable drives rely on manual saves and AutoRecover instead.

Question 25Manage document options and settings

Where is the unit of measurement used by the rulers and dialog boxes changed from inches to centimeters?

  1. File > Options > Advanced, under Display Correct answer.
  2. Layout > Margins > Custom Margins
  3. File > Options > General, under Start up options
  4. File > Options > Display, under Page display options

Explanation

The unit used by the ruler and dialog boxes is set on the Advanced page under Display with the Show measurements in units of list. Changing margin values in Page Setup does not change the unit itself.

Question 26Manage document options and settings

A user wants to change the overall color scheme used by the Word application window. On which Word Options page is that setting located?

  1. Advanced
  2. General Correct answer.
  3. Customize Ribbon
  4. Save

Explanation

The Office Theme drop-down appears in the Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office section of the General page of Word Options. It changes the appearance of the application interface, not the content or formatting of documents.

Question 27Manage document options and settings

A user wants the Quick Access Toolbar to appear underneath the ribbon instead of above it. Which action accomplishes this?

  1. Drag the Quick Access Toolbar down to the status bar.
  2. Open the Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu and click Show Below the Ribbon. Correct answer.
  3. Right-click the ribbon and click Minimize the Ribbon.
  4. Select Quick Access Toolbar on the Customize Ribbon page of Word Options.

Explanation

The drop-down arrow at the end of the Quick Access Toolbar contains the Show Below the Ribbon / Show Above the Ribbon toggle. Choosing Show Below the Ribbon immediately relocates the toolbar under the ribbon.

Question 28Manage document options and settings

How is the default font changed for all new documents that are based on the Normal template?

  1. On the Save page of Word Options, choose the font in the Default format box.
  2. Open the Font dialog box, choose the font and size, and click Set As Default. Correct answer.
  3. Apply the font to the document title and update the document properties.
  4. Type sample text in the chosen font, select it, and save the document.

Explanation

The Set As Default button in the Font dialog box writes the selected font and size into the Normal template, so every new blank document starts with that font. Confirming the choice applies it to the template rather than only the current document.

Question 29Manage document options and settings

Which Word Options page contains the setting that controls how often AutoRecover information is saved?

  1. Save Correct answer.
  2. Advanced
  3. Proofing
  4. General

Explanation

The Save page includes the Save AutoRecover information every X minutes check box and interval box. AutoRecover creates a recovery copy while a document is open so changes can be restored after an unexpected shutdown.

Question 30Manage document options and settings

Which path is used to require a password before a document can be opened at all?

  1. File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password Correct answer.
  2. File > Info > Properties > Advanced Properties
  3. Review > Restrict Editing > Editing restrictions
  4. File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View

Explanation

Encrypt with Password on the Info page applies encryption to the file so that anyone opening it must supply the password. It restricts opening itself, whereas editing restrictions and Protected View restrict what a user can do after the file is already open.

Question 31Manage document options and settings

A user wants recipients to be advised that a document is finished and should not be edited, while still being able to open it normally. Which command is used?

  1. File > Info > Protect Document > Mark as Final Correct answer.
  2. File > Save As, and then choose PDF
  3. Review > Restrict Editing > Stop Protection
  4. File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password

Explanation

Mark as Final sets the file to read-only status and displays a Marked as Final notice when the file is opened. It is an advisory flag, not a security control, so readers can still turn off editing restrictions.

Question 32Manage document options and settings

Which Word Options setting controls whether the Mini Toolbar appears near text that a user selects?

  1. Proofing page, When correcting spelling and grammar in Word section
  2. General page, Show Mini Toolbar on selection option Correct answer.
  3. Customize Ribbon page, Main Tabs list
  4. Advanced page, Show document content section

Explanation

The Show Mini Toolbar on selection check box is located on the General page under Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office. Clearing it prevents the small floating formatting bar from appearing when text is selected.

Question 33Manage document options and settings

A document uses features that an earlier version of Word does not support. Which tool reports those features before the file is shared?

  1. Document Inspector
  2. Track Changes
  3. Accessibility Checker
  4. Compatibility Checker Correct answer.

Explanation

Compatibility Checker, available from File > Info > Check for Issues, lists features that will be lost or will behave differently in earlier Word versions. It is used to avoid unexpected changes for recipients who run older releases.

Question 34Manage document options and settings

Which Trust Center macro setting allows only macros signed by a trusted publisher to run?

  1. Enable all macros (not recommended; potentially dangerous code can run)
  2. Disable all macros except digitally signed macros Correct answer.
  3. Disable all macros without notification
  4. Disable all macros with notification

Explanation

Disable all macros except digitally signed macros runs only macros whose signature comes from a publisher in the trusted publishers list. Unsigned or untrusted macros are blocked, which limits exposure to malicious code while still permitting vetted solutions.

Question 35Manage document options and settings

Documents that arrive as email attachments open in a restricted view with most editing disabled. Where is that behavior configured?

  1. File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View Correct answer.
  2. File > Options > Save > Save AutoRecover information every
  3. File > Options > Advanced > File Locations
  4. Review > Restrict Editing > Editing restrictions

Explanation

The Protected View page in Trust Center Settings contains separate check boxes for attachments, files in unsafe locations, and files from the Internet. Clearing or selecting these boxes decides which categories of file open in the restricted view.

Question 36Manage document options and settings

A document containing many large photographs must be reduced in size by permanently removing cropped areas. Which option accomplishes this?

  1. Show picture placeholders
  2. Do not compress images in file
  3. Embed fonts in the file
  4. Discard editing data Correct answer.

Explanation

Discard editing data, in the Image Size and Quality area of the Advanced page, removes cropped regions and stored editing information when the file is saved. Because the removed data is unrecoverable, the option should be cleared while images are still being edited.

Question 37Manage document options and settings

A document created in an older version of Word is laid out differently after it is opened in a newer version. Which area preserves the original layout for that file?

  1. General page, Start up options
  2. Save page, Preserve fidelity when sharing this document
  3. Proofing page, When correcting spelling and grammar in Word
  4. Advanced page, Compatibility options Correct answer.

Explanation

The Compatibility options section on the Advanced page opens layout options that control how a specific document is rendered in the current version. Selecting the options from the document's original version restores the earlier line breaking and spacing behavior.

Question 38Manage document options and settings

Before a document is sent outside the organization, a user wants author names and other personal data removed from the file. Which command performs this task?

  1. Compatibility Checker
  2. Accessibility Checker
  3. Mark as Final
  4. Document Inspector Correct answer.

Explanation

Document Inspector can remove document properties and personal information as well as comments, revisions, and hidden text. Reviewers should run it on a copy, because removed content cannot be restored.

Question 39Manage document options and settings

Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar customizations have made Word unstable, and a user wants the original interface restored. Which command is used?

  1. File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Reset > Reset all customizations Correct answer.
  2. Close and reopen Word; customizations are discarded automatically
  3. File > Options > General > Reset
  4. File > Options > Advanced > Reset

Explanation

The Reset button at the bottom of the Customize Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar pages offers Reset all customizations, which removes user-made ribbon and toolbar changes. The command can be applied to a single tab or to the entire interface.

Question 40Manage document options and settings

Which setting controls whether pointing to an option in a gallery previews the formatting change in the document?

  1. Enable Live Preview Correct answer.
  2. Show Mini Toolbar on selection
  3. ScreenTip style
  4. Show the Start screen when this application starts

Explanation

Enable Live Preview, on the General page, makes Word apply a temporary preview of a gallery or theme option while the pointer rests on it. The preview disappears when the pointer moves away without a click.

Question 41Manage document options and settings

A user wants Word to stop capitalizing the first letter of each sentence automatically. Where is that behavior turned off?

  1. File > Options > Advanced > Editing options
  2. File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoCorrect tab Correct answer.
  3. Review > Tracking > Track Changes
  4. File > Options > General > Start up options

Explanation

The Capitalize first letter of sentences check box lives on the AutoCorrect tab of the AutoCorrect Options dialog box, reached from the Proofing page. Clearing it stops the automatic capitalization for text typed in Word.

Question 42Manage document options and settings

A user must proofread a document written in French while the Word interface stays in English. Which action adds French proofing support?

  1. File > Options > General, and then change the Office Theme to a French theme
  2. Review > Language > Translate > Translate Document
  3. File > Options > Language, and then add French under Office authoring languages and proofing Correct answer.
  4. File > Options > Proofing, and then clear the Check spelling as you type box

Explanation

Adding a language under Office authoring languages and proofing installs its spelling and grammar tools and makes it selectable as a proofing language. The display and interface language is set separately, so English can remain the interface language while French text is checked.

Question 43Manage document options and settings

Cross-references appear with a gray background on screen but print without it. Where is that on-screen shading controlled?

  1. Design > Page Background > Page Color
  2. Review > Tracking > Markup Area Highlight
  3. File > Options > Advanced, Show document content > Field shading Correct answer.
  4. File > Options > General, Show Mini Toolbar on selection

Explanation

The Field shading list in the Show document content section of the Advanced page sets whether field results are shaded never, always, or only when selected. The shading is an on-screen aid and is never printed.

Question 44Manage document options and settings

Which Advanced page option draws a dotted outline around the text area and margins of a page on screen only?

  1. Show crop marks
  2. Show text boundaries Correct answer.
  3. Show drawings and text boxes on screen
  4. Show bookmarks

Explanation

Show text boundaries places a thin outline at the margin and text boundaries so users can see where content will wrap and where margins end. The outlines are display aids only and never appear on printed pages.

Question 45Manage document options and settings

A user wants the Styles pane to list every formatting combination used in a document so direct formatting can be cleaned up. Which Advanced page setting enables this?

  1. Show measurements in units of
  2. Confirm file format conversion on open
  3. Enable click and type
  4. Keep track of formatting Correct answer.

Explanation

Keep track of formatting makes Word record each combination of direct formatting so it can be listed in the Styles pane. Combined with Mark formatting inconsistencies, it helps locate text that does not match an existing style.

Question 46Manage document options and settings

A user wants Word to ask which converter to use every time a file that is not in Word format is opened. Which option produces that prompt?

  1. Save files in this format
  2. Confirm file format conversion on open Correct answer.
  3. Update automatic links at open
  4. Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations

Explanation

Confirm file format conversion on open, on the Advanced page, makes Word display the Convert File dialog box when a file is opened in a non-Word format. It lets the user choose the correct converter instead of relying on the automatic guess.

Question 47Manage document options and settings

A user must add a folder on a mapped network drive as a trusted location. Which Trust Center setting must be enabled first?

  1. Trusted Locations > Allow Trusted Locations on my network Correct answer.
  2. Add-ins > Require Application Add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher
  3. File > Options > Advanced > File Locations > Workgroup templates
  4. Protected View > Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet

Explanation

Network paths are blocked from being added as trusted locations until Allow Trusted Locations on my network is selected. Because network shares are easier for others to modify, Word requires this explicit opt-in before a UNC or mapped path can be trusted.

Question 48Manage document options and settings

Where is the folder that Word searches for workgroup templates changed?

  1. File > Options > General
  2. File > Options > Advanced > General > File Locations Correct answer.
  3. File > Options > Customize Ribbon
  4. File > Options > Save

Explanation

The File Locations button on the Advanced page opens a dialog box that lists the folders Word uses for documents, templates, workgroup templates, and similar items. Each entry can be selected and modified individually.

Question 49Manage document options and settings

A document contains links to data in an Excel workbook, and the user wants to be prompted at open time about refreshing that data. Which Advanced page setting provides the prompt?

  1. Confirm file format conversion on open
  2. Update automatic links at open Correct answer.
  3. Show field codes instead of their values
  4. Update fields before printing

Explanation

When Update automatic links at open is selected, Word asks whether to refresh linked OLE data each time the document opens. Clearing the option keeps the last saved values without asking.

Question 50Manage document options and settings

Which Proofing page setting makes Word report readability scores after a spelling and grammar check completes?

  1. Check grammar with spelling
  2. Show readability statistics Correct answer.
  3. Writing style: Grammar Only
  4. Mark grammar errors as you type

Explanation

Show readability statistics displays counts and readability scores in a dialog box when a grammar check finishes. It requires grammar checking to be enabled, because the scores are produced at the end of a grammar pass.
