MOS Word Expert (MO-111) flashcards
MOS Word Expert (MO-111) · Build recall with a focused review session.
32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Trusted Locations
- Folders configured in the Trust Center where files open without Protected View or macro blocking; they bypass security prompts entirely, so only well-controlled network or local paths should be added.
- Protected View
- A read-only sandbox that opens files from the internet, unsafe attachments, or untrusted locations; editing requires clicking Enable Editing, and the setting is controlled in Trust Center.
- Compatibility Mode
- A document state shown in the title bar when a file uses an older Word format; it disables newer layout features until the file is converted via File > Info > Convert.
- Document Inspector
- A tool under File > Info > Check for Issues that finds and removes hidden metadata, comments, tracked changes, and personal information; some removals cannot be undone.
- AutoRecover interval
- The time between automatic recovery saves, set in File > Options > Save; recovered files open read-only after a crash and must be saved to become permanent.
- Restrict Editing
- A Review tab command that limits formatting changes or editing types such as tracked changes, comments, or forms, optionally with exceptions for named users and groups.
- Digital signature
- An encrypted stamp added via File > Info > Protect Document that confirms the document is unaltered; any subsequent edit invalidates or removes the signature.
- Normal.dotm
- The global template that supplies defaults for new blank documents, including default styles, margins, and macros stored globally; corrupting it resets many Word defaults.
- Style Inspector
- A Styles pane tool that shows which paragraph and character styles apply at the cursor, plus any direct formatting layered on top, helping diagnose inconsistent formatting.
- Direct formatting override
- Manual formatting applied on top of a style takes precedence until removed; Ctrl+Space clears character formatting and Ctrl+Q clears paragraph formatting back to the style.
- Track Changes
- A review mode toggled with Ctrl+Shift+E that records insertions, deletions, and formatting as revisions; the Reviewing Pane lists them and Accept or Reject resolves each.
- Combine documents
- A Review tab command that merges multiple authors' copies into one document with revisions marked, used when several reviewers edited separate copies of the same original.
- Section break
- A Layout > Breaks element that starts a new section with independent page setup, allowing different headers, orientation, margins, or column layouts within one document.
- Update fields shortcut
- F9 refreshes selected fields such as tables of contents and cross-references; Ctrl+A then F9 updates all fields, and Alt+F9 toggles field code display document-wide.
- Wildcard search
- A Find and Replace option enabling pattern matching with characters such as ? and *, plus special codes like ^p for paragraph marks and ^t for tabs.
- Cross-reference field
- An Insert > Cross-reference link to a heading, bookmark, figure, or table that updates when fields refresh, unlike a typed reference that never changes.
- Building Blocks Organizer
- A dialog listing reusable content such as headers, footers, tables, and Quick Parts, sorted by gallery, category, and the template in which each block is stored.
- Content control
- A structured document element on the Developer tab, such as plain text, date picker, drop-down, or checkbox, with title and tag properties used for data binding.
- Repeating section control
- A content control that duplicates its contained controls for multiple entries; full persistence requires saving in a macro-enabled or XML-based format.
- Document template (.dotx)
- A file that supplies styles, content, and settings for documents created from it; saved via File > Save As with the Word Template type selected.
- Building Blocks.dotx
- The global template that stores building blocks available to all documents; blocks saved to a document's own template appear only in documents based on that template.
- Merge field
- A placeholder inserted in a mail merge main document that pulls a value from a data source column; the field name must match the column header exactly.
- Custom document property
- A user-defined named value added under Advanced Properties that can be inserted as a field in headers, footers, or body text and reused across the document.
- Quick Parts gallery
- An Insert tab gallery of saved selections and AutoText entries; a selection can be saved as a new building block with a name, gallery, and category.
- Mail merge main document
- The file containing boilerplate text and merge fields that is combined with a data source; its type can be letters, email messages, envelopes, labels, or a directory.
- IF field syntax
- A conditional field written as IF Expression TrueText FalseText, using operators such as =, <>, >, and <, with text results enclosed in quotation marks.
- Bookmark
- A named location or selection inserted via Insert > Bookmark that REF fields and cross-references can target; bookmarks are hidden unless Show Bookmarks is enabled.
- Table of Contents field
- A field built from heading styles or TC entries that must be updated with F9 after edits; page numbers appear only when the document is paginated.
- Caption and Table of Figures
- Captions add numbered labels to figures and tables; a Table of Figures is generated from caption labels or a chosen style and updates like other fields.
- Index entry marking
- Alt+Shift+X marks selected text as an index entry; References > Insert Index compiles entries into an index that refreshes only when manually updated.
- Forms protection
- A Restrict Editing mode that limits editing to form fields and content controls; legacy form fields require it, while content controls can be locked individually.
- Macro-enabled format
- The .docm extension stores VBA macros; recording starts at Developer > Record Macro, and macros run from the Macros dialog with Alt+F8.
