    You want to use the Copy and Paste commands to work with text. Where do you find them on the Ribbon?

    • Insert tab.

    • Home tab.

    • Quick Access Toolbar.

    • There aren't any

    Correct Answer
    A. Home tab.
    Explanation
    The Copy and Paste commands can be found on the Home tab of the Ribbon. This tab contains various commands related to formatting and editing text, making it the most likely location to find these commonly used commands. The Insert tab is primarily used for adding objects such as tables, pictures, and shapes. The Quick Access Toolbar is a customizable toolbar that can be located at the top of the application window and can contain frequently used commands, but it does not specifically contain the Copy and Paste commands by default.

    Explanation
    The quickest method to create a slide show with digital holiday photos is to use the "New Photo Album" feature. This allows you to easily insert multiple pictures in a group for each slide, saving time compared to inserting each photo manually.

    Explanation
    To print slides in a handout format that includes lines for notes, you need to select Handouts in the Print dialog box. Then, set the number of slides per page to 3. This will allow you to have three slides on each page with lines provided for note-taking. This option is ideal for distributing handouts during presentations or meetings where participants can take notes alongside the slides.
