    There are two ways to place text in columns using Microsoft Word:  tabbed columns or newspaper columns.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Microsoft Word offers two options for placing text in columns: tabbed columns and newspaper columns. Tabbed columns allow you to create columns with equal widths and adjust the spacing between them. On the other hand, newspaper columns automatically adjust the width of each column based on the amount of text, creating a more visually appealing layout similar to a newspaper article. Therefore, the statement that there are two ways to place text in columns using Microsoft Word is true.

    To allow for the binding used for a bound report, you should add 0.5 inch to the:

    • Top margin

    • Gutter

    • Bottom margin

    • Continuous section break

    Correct Answer
    A. Gutter
    Explanation
    To allow for the binding used for a bound report, you should add 0.5 inch to the gutter. The gutter is the space between the printed area and the binding edge of a document. Adding extra space to the gutter ensures that the text or content near the binding edge is not cut off or obstructed when the document is bound. This allows for a clean and professional appearance of the bound report.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
