611. What happens when you insert an AutoShape by simply clicking in the document?

  • A. it appears near the insertion point
  • B. it is inserted in its default size
  • C. is selected
  • D. all of the above

Explanation: Clicking once to insert an AutoShape places it near the insertion point, uses its default dimensions, and leaves it selected for editing. Dragging instead would allow a custom size.

Correct answer: all of the above

612. The _________ indents all the lines of a paragraph except first line in Ms Word.

  • A. First Line Indent Marker
  • B. Hanging Indent Marker
  • C. Left Indent Marker
  • D. Right Indent Marker

Explanation: A hanging indent leaves the first line at the margin while indenting all following lines of the paragraph. The first-line marker does the opposite.

Correct answer: Hanging Indent Marker

613. A __________ is a formatting mark at the end of a line that moves the insertion point to the beginning of the next physical line.

  • A. paragraph break character
  • B. nonbreaking space
  • C. line break character
  • D. nonbreaking hyphen

Explanation: A line-break character ends the current physical line without starting a new paragraph, so the insertion point moves to the next line. A paragraph break also starts a new paragraph and may carry different formatting.

Correct answer: line break character

614. Which option enables automatic updates in destination documents?

  • A. embedding
  • B. objects
  • C. links
  • D. relationships

Explanation: A link connects a destination document to the source object, allowing the destination to reflect later changes in the source. Embedding stores a separate copy and therefore does not update automatically.

Correct answer: links

  • A. Normal
  • B. Raised
  • C. Lowered
  • D. Centered

Explanation: Font position can be normal, raised, or lowered, corresponding to ordinary, superscript-like, or subscript-like placement. Centered is paragraph alignment, not a font-position setting.

Correct answer: Centered

616. Which corner of the Word window has the zoom control?

  • A. document formatting

  • A. Main document
  • B. Data source
  • C. Merge fields
