Revision Task 1: A typical Question 1 (check list)

Know the different file extensions (Excel = *.xls; Power point = *.pps) You will be expected to copy or move files from a certain application to a different folder.
You must be able to arrange files according to their attributes: date modified or the type of file or the name of the file.
Files have different attributes. In the first case you must open the document and click on the File menu item and the following properties dialogue box will appear and you can type information in. This information will appear in a yellow tool tip when you move the mouse over the file.
You must be able to make a word count. You can be asked to open a word document and declare how many words are in the document. Select all the text and go to Tools, choose Word Count.
Save as text file.
File compression. On the network it will be a Zip file, but you also get win.rar
Read-only and hidden properties. Right click on the document name and choose properties. Tick the box they ask for.
Remove or add password protection. Go to Tools and choose options and in the dialogue box choose security and in the first box you will find a password or you need to put a password in.
Cut and move means the same if you paste it in another folder. Cut and delete means the same if you do not paste it.
Read-only attributes will not be tested in the exams due to the fact that data is burned on a CD and then all file types become Read-only.
Shortcuts can be tested to files or folders, ensure you know how to do it. Read carefully where the shortcut must be and where it must point to.Screenprints must be done by the key and we do not get zap grab in the exams.
