77-725 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    You are editing a lengthy research paper that uses a custom font for headings. You need to apply this same heading format to dozens of other section titles throughout the document. What is the most efficient method to copy the formatting from an existing heading and apply it to multiple, non-consecutive new headings?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Double-clicking the Format Painter button 'locks' it, allowing you to apply the copied formatting to multiple selections. You can then press the Esc key to deactivate it. This is the most efficient method for applying formatting to several non-consecutive items.

  2. Question 2

    A project manager is creating a report with several appendices. The main body of the report must have page numbers in the format 'Page X of Y' in the footer. However, the appendices, which start in a new section, need to use a different numbering format: 'Appendix A - 1', 'Appendix A - 2', etc. How can this be achieved?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    This is the correct procedure. A 'Next Page' Section Break allows for independent formatting of headers and footers. Unlinking the footer is crucial. Finally, the 'Format Page Numbers' dialog box allows you to include 'chapter' numbers (based on a heading style) and restart numbering, achieving the 'Appendix A - 1' format.

  3. Question 3

    Multiple answers

    You have a table containing sales data. You need to ensure that the header row of the table appears at the top of each new page the table spans. Which two of the following steps are required to accomplish this? (Select TWO)

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: A, C

    You must first select the row(s) you want to designate as the repeating header before you can apply the setting.

    This is the specific command that enables the selected row(s) to repeat on every page the table continues onto.

  4. Question 4

    You are preparing a company newsletter with a two-column layout. You have an image that needs to be placed in the center of the page, spanning across both columns, with text flowing around it. Which text wrapping option should you apply to the image?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    'Top and Bottom' wrapping forces the text to stop above the object and resume below it, creating a clean break across the full width of the object. This allows the image to effectively span both columns while text flows neatly above and below it.

  5. Question 5

    True or False: When you insert a standard Table of Contents based on heading styles, you must manually re-insert it every time you add or remove a heading to reflect the changes.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    This is false. You can simply right-click the existing Table of Contents and choose 'Update Field'. Word will then prompt you to update page numbers only or update the entire table, which will add or remove entries as needed.

  6. Question 6

    You need to create a document with a unique, artistic title. Which Word feature is specifically designed to apply stylized effects like shadows, reflections, and transformations to text?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    WordArt is the specific feature in Word designed to create decorative text with a variety of special effects, including transformations (like curving text), outlines, shadows, reflections, and glows.

  7. Question 7

    You are finalizing a sensitive report for external distribution and need to remove all metadata, such as author names, comments, and other hidden properties. What tool should you use before saving the final version?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    The Document Inspector, found under File > Info > Check for Issues, is the specific tool designed to find and remove hidden data and personal information like comments, document properties, author names, and more.

  8. Question 8

    You have a list of employee names and their corresponding start dates, separated by tabs. To present this information more clearly, you need to convert it into a table. Which of the following is the correct action?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    This is the correct procedure. After selecting the delimited text, this command opens a dialog where you can confirm the number of columns and the delimiter (in this case, tabs) to automatically create the table.

  9. Question 9

    You are creating a flyer and have placed a circular company logo on the page. You want the paragraph text to flow closely around the curved edge of the logo, not just its square bounding box. Which text wrapping option should be applied to the logo's image?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The 'Tight' text wrapping option is specifically designed to make the text flow closely around the actual contours of an irregularly shaped object, such as a circle. This will provide the desired effect of text conforming to the logo's edge.

  10. Question 10

    To create a multi-level list for an outline, which keyboard key is the standard shortcut to demote a list item to a lower level (e.g., from '1.' to 'a.')?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Pressing the Tab key at the beginning of a list item demotes it to the next level down in the hierarchy. Conversely, Shift+Tab promotes it to a higher level.
