QUESTION BANK ANSWERS

Descriptive Questions
1. Differentiate cut-paste and copy-paste.

Cut-Paste and Copy-Paste are basic computing essentials which allow the person to edit a
document or file easily and quickly.
There are a few differences in the two commands:
The Copy and Paste command is used when data from a document or any file is needed to
be added to another location in addition to the place from where it is being originally copied.
The second location could be either in the same document or location or in a different document
or location.
The Cut and Paste command is used when the data from a document or any file from any
location is to be moved completely to a new location and is no longer required in the original
location. The new location could be in the same document or file or in a different document or
file.
Both these commands need the data to be selected initially, which can be done by dragging the
mouse across the area to be selected.
For Copy and Paste, the mouse should be right clicked in the new location after selection of
data and the copy command is selected. After moving to the new location, the mouse is right
clicked again and the paste command is selected.
Similarly, for Cut and Paste command, the mouse should be right clicked in the new location
after selection of data and the Cut command is selected. After moving to the new location, the
mouse is right clicked again and the paste command is selected.
These commands can be chosen from the Edit Menu too on the document.
Ctrl X + Ctrl V is the shortcut command for Cut (Ctrl X) and Paste (Ctrl V).
Ctrl C + Ctrl V is the shortcut command for Copy (Ctrl C) and Paste (Ctrl V).

5. What is mail merge? Explain the steps involved in mail merge.

MAIL MERGE
Mail merge is a powerful tool for writing and sending a personalized letter or e-mail to
many different people at the same time. Facility provided by most word processing
program whereby a form-letter can be sent to many recipients, each letter personalized for
each recipient. The program takes each recipients name and address (from a mailing list)
and enters it in its usual place on the letter, and also prints out mailing labels. Mail merge
is a software operation describing the production of multiple (and potentially large numbers
of) documents from a single template form and a structured data source. The letter may be
sent out too many recipients with small changes, such as a change of address or a change
in the greeting line. Microsoft Word Mail Merge allows a user to send letters or documents

information that will be the same in each version, and then add placeholders for the
information that will be unique to each version.

10. Write a short notes on

a. Redo command.
Redo command. Word 2016 offers a couple of commands that enable you to fix mistakes
and restore your documents — Redo and Repeat. If you undo something and — whoops!
— you didn’t mean to, use the Redo command to set things back to
the way they were.
For example, you may type some text and then use Undo to “untype”
the text. You can use the Redo command to restore the typing. You
have two choices: Press Ctrl+Y.
 Click the Redo command button on the Quick Access Toolbar.
The Redo command does exactly the opposite of whatever the Undo command does. So,
if you type text, Undo untypes the text and Redo recovers the text. If you use Undo to
recover deleted text, Redo deletes the text again. When the Redo command
has nothing left to redo, it changes functions and becomes the Repeat
command. On the Quick Access toolbar, the command changes as shown
here. The Repeat command’s duty is to repeat the last thing you did in Word, whether it’s
typing text, applying a format, or doing a variety of other things.
Lamentably, you can’t use the Repeat command to ease your typing chores. That’s because
it repeats only the last single character you typed. The keyboard shortcut for the Repeat
command is Ctrl+Y, the same as the Redo command.
b. Document view.
View Buttons:
The group of five buttons located near the bottom of the screen, lets you switch through
the Word various document views.
1. Print Layout view: This displays pages exactly as they will appear when
printed.
2. Full Screen Reading view: This gives a full screen view of the document.
MS-Word Notes for VSR GDC Movva

3. Web Layout view: This shows how a document appears when viewed by a Web
browser, such as Internet Explorer.
4. Outline view: This lets you work with outlines established using Word’s
standard heading styles.
5. Draft view: This formats text as it appears on the printed page with a few
exceptions. For example, headers and footers shown. Most people prefer this
mode.

c. Bullets and numbering

11. Write down steps to cut copy and paste text in a document.
One of the most basic functions you will probably use is to move or copy text. If you move
the text, deleting it from the original location and placing it somewhere else, you are cutting
and pasting text. When you make a copy of the text, leaving a copy in the original location
and placing the new copy in a different place, you are copying and pasting text.

When you cut or copy a section of text, it is moved to the Windows Clipboard, which holds
the cut or copied sections until you are ready to paste them. Because the Clipboard is
Windows-based, you can use it in all Windows applications, not just Word.

One thing that makes Word so popular is that you can choose from a number of different
methods to accomplish the same result. There are several different ways to cut or copy and
paste selected text.
Generally, the basic steps to copy and move are as follows:

1. Select the text you want to copy or move.

2. Copy (or cut) the selected text.
3. Reposition the insertion point at the target location.
4. Paste the text you copied (or cut).

Some methods for copying, cutting, and pasting text work better in certain situations. For
example, if your hands are already on the keyboard, the keyboard methods might be more
convenient. Others prefer to use the mouse.
To copy selected text, perform one of the following actions:
1. Click the Copy button.
2. Choose Edit, Copy.
3. Right-click the selected text and choose Copy.
4. Press Ctrl+C.
5. Press Ctrl+Insert.
To cut selected text, perform one of the following actions:
1. Click the Cut button.

1. Click the Paste button.
2. Choose Edit, Paste.
