Build a document-protection scheme using formatting restrictions, editing restrictions, and exceptions for named users or ranges

Apply sensitivity labels and configure the Trust Center privacy options that control connected experiences

Restrict editing with a password, then test each restriction by attempting the blocked action and logging the result

Configure compatibility mode settings and explain in writing how one legacy layout option changes pagination

Create and apply a multi-level list that links heading styles to numbering levels and restarts correctly after a section break

Build a custom style set with at least four paragraph styles and two character styles, basing each on an existing style where appropriate

Insert a section break set that mixes portrait and landscape orientation with independent headers and footers

Configure line and paragraph pagination controls (keep with next, widow control, page break before) and explain the effect of each

Insert and edit field codes directly, including PAGE, NUMPAGES, DATE with a switch, and a cross-reference field

Update fields selectively and lock a field so it cannot refresh, verifying the difference in behavior

Build a table of contents from custom styles, then edit the TOC field switches to change heading depth

Apply advanced find and replace using wildcards and special characters to reformat text patterns in bulk

Create reusable building blocks and store them in a custom building block gallery with assigned categories and properties

Insert a Quick Part and then modify the stored entry so the inserted copy reflects the change on re-insertion

Save a document as a macro-enabled template and confirm the macro persists when a new document is created from it

Configure macro security settings and explain the trust model for signed versus unsigned macros

Use the Developer tab to inspect and debug one failing macro line by stepping through it

Create a master document with at least three subdocuments, then expand and collapse them and note one limitation observed

Insert and manage cross-references between subdocuments and update them after editing a heading

Merge revisions from two reviewers using track changes, accept and reject selectively, and compare two versions

Run a full timed practice set covering all four domains and log every missed objective by domain
