MOS Word: Inserting Graphic Elements 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the effect of applying 'Through' text wrapping to an image?
- Text flows only above and below the image
- Text flows around the image's rectangular bounding box
- Text flows through any transparent areas within the image's editing points (Correct answer)
- Text is hidden behind the image completely
Correct answer: Text flows through any transparent areas within the image's editing points
Through wrapping allows text to fill any open or transparent areas within the image's wrap points, unlike Tight which only wraps the outer edge.
Question 2: How do you group multiple shapes in Word so they can be moved or resized together?
- Select all shapes, then press Ctrl+G
- Select all shapes, go to Shape Format > Arrange > Group (Correct answer)
- Right-click one shape and select Merge Shapes

Question 3: Which Insert tab command lets you capture only a specific rectangular region of your screen rather than a full window?
- Screenshot > Available Windows

Screen Clipping minimizes Word and lets you drag to select a specific region of the screen to capture.

Correct answer: Select both shapes > Shape Format > Arrange > Align > Align Left
Shape Format > Arrange > Align > Align Left aligns selected objects to their leftmost edge.

- Reduces the file size by lowering image resolution and removing cropped areas (Correct answer)
- Combines multiple images into a single ZIP archive
- Converts all images to black and white to save space

Correct answer: Reduces the file size by lowering image resolution and removing cropped areas

Question 7: Which text wrap option makes an image float but keeps all document text above and below it with no text beside it?
