    Explanation
    A preformatted document that contains specified text, layout, and formatting is called a template. Templates are used to create consistent and standardized documents with a predefined structure and design.

    Explanation
    When you create a header or footer for a document, it is automatically applied to every page in the document. This means that you don't have to manually apply it to each page individually. The header or footer will be consistently displayed on every page of the document, providing a consistent format or information such as page numbers, date, and time. This saves time and effort as you don't have to manually insert the header or footer on each page.

The specific size and measurement of the margins may vary depending on the document's purpose and formatting requirements.

    • Format Painter

    • Paste

    • Copy

    • Open

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    To copy all the attributes of a piece of text and paste them onto another piece of text, you would click on the "Copy" option. This action will duplicate the selected text, allowing you to transfer its formatting, style, and other attributes to another location. The "Format Painter" option, on the other hand, is used to copy the formatting of a specific text selection and apply it to another selection, while "Paste" is used to insert the copied or cut content into a new location. The "Open" option is unrelated to copying and pasting text attributes.
