Microsoft Exam 77-887 Topic 5 Question 9 Discussion

Character styles are used to determine the look of the text in a document. These styles are marked with the character symbol: a. A user can apply the style to the entire word by clicking anywhere on it. A character style contains formatting characteristics that can be applied to text, such as the font name, size, color, bold, italic, underline, borders, and shading. It does not include formatting that affects paragraph characteristics, such as line spacing, text alignment, indentation, and tab stops. Word provides several built-in character styles, such as Emphasis, Subtle Emphasis, and Intense Emphasis.

Answer A is incorrect. The paragraph style includes everything that a character style contains, but it also controls all aspects of a paragraph's appearance, such as text alignment, tab stops, line spacing, and borders.

Answer C is incorrect. The linked styles are a combination of character styles or paragraph styles.

Answer B is incorrect. The table styles determine the look of tables, including characteristics, such as the text formatting of the header row, gridlines, and accent colors for rows and columns.
