A student is creating a report for a school project. The teacher has instructed them to set gutter margins of 2.5cm on all sides of the page. List three reasons why adhering to this instruction is important.
Adhering to the teacher's instruction to set gutter margins of 2.5cm is important for the following reasons:
- Professional Presentation: Following the specified margins demonstrates attention to detail and professionalism, which is expected in academic work.
- Readability and Visual Appeal: The 2.5cm margins ensure the report is easy to read and visually appealing, preventing the text from appearing cramped.
- Consistency and Formatting: Using the specified margins ensures the report maintains a consistent format with other documents in the class, making it easier for the teacher to assess.
- Potential for Binding: While not explicitly stated, the margins provide space that could be useful if the report is to be bound later.

A teacher requires you to include a footer on every page of a document, containing the document title and page number. The document is quite long. Describe the steps you would take to create and insert a footer, ensuring it appears on every page, and explain how you would insert the page number.
To create and insert a footer with the document title and page number on every page, I would follow these steps:
- Open the Header & Footer Tools: Double-click in the top margin of the document to open the Header & Footer Tools tab. Alternatively, go to 'Insert' > 'Header & Footer'.
- Insert the Document Title: In the Header & Footer Tools tab, use the 'Picture' or 'Text Box' options to insert the document title. Position and format the title as desired.
- Insert the Page Number: In the Header & Footer Tools tab, click on 'Page Number'. Choose the desired position for the page number (e.g., bottom left, bottom right).
- Format the Page Number: Select the page number and use the formatting options in the Header & Footer Tools tab to change the font, style, and number format (e.g., 1, 2, 3 or I, II, III).
- Ensure Footer Appears on Every Page: In the Header & Footer Tools tab, check the box labeled 'Link to Previous'. This ensures that the footer is linked to the previous page and will automatically update on subsequent pages.
- Close Header & Footer Tools: Click the 'Close Header and Footer' button in the Header & Footer Tools tab.

A student is writing a poem for a school competition. They want to use text enhancement to create a specific effect or convey a particular mood. Explain how the student could use text enhancement features (bold, underline, italic, superscript, subscript, changes in case) to achieve this. Provide at least three distinct examples of how different combinations of these features could be used to create different effects.
A student can creatively use text enhancement features to enhance the emotional impact and visual appeal of their poem. Here are three examples:
- Emphasis and Emotion: Using bold text to emphasize key words or phrases can heighten the emotional impact. For example, in a poem about sadness, words like "lost," "empty," or "alone" could be bolded to draw the reader's attention and convey the feeling of despair. Purpose: To amplify emotional content.
- Subtle Reflection and Dreamlike Quality: Using italics sparingly can create a sense of reflection, dreamlike quality, or a whisper. For example, a line describing a fading memory could be italicized. Purpose: To create a sense of subtlety and introspection.
- Contrast and Isolation: Underlining a single word or phrase can create a sense of contrast or isolation. For example, underlining a word like "silence" in a poem about a bustling city could highlight the feeling of loneliness. Purpose: To draw attention to a specific element and create a feeling of separation.
- Changes in Case for Rhythm and Emphasis: Using all-caps for short, impactful phrases can create a sense of urgency or emphasis. For example, "DO NOT FORGET" could be used to convey a strong warning. Alternating between uppercase and lowercase can also create a rhythmic effect. Purpose: To create rhythm and emphasize specific ideas.
By experimenting with different combinations of these features, the student can create a poem that is both visually and emotionally engaging.
