Which of the following features should you use when typing in the notes text box in Microsoft PowerPoint?

Correct answer: D

A
Slide Show
B
Insert
C
Slide Master
D
Zoom
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The Slide Show feature is used to run the presentation, Insert is used to add objects to slides, and Slide Master is used to control the overall slide layout and design, not specifically for typing in the notes text box. Therefore, Zoom is the appropriate feature to use when working within the notes text box for better readability.

You can set page borders in Excel from: ____?

Correct answer: D

A
From Border tab in Format Cells dialog box
B
From Border tool in Formatting toolbar
C
From Line Style tool in Drawing toolbar
D

You cannot set a page border directly from the Border tab in the Format Cells dialog box or from any toolbar. Instead, users simulate page borders by applying cell borders around a print area or by drawing shapes with borders. Therefore, the correct answer is D: You cannot set page border in Excel as a direct feature. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide a true page border setting in Excel.

Correct answer: B

A
Tools, Spelling & Grammar
B

Other options do not provide direct access to synonyms and antonyms.
