Exam overview
About the Exam 77-601: MOS: Using Microsoft Office Word 2007 Exam
Word 2007 work involves choosing formatting that clarifies a document without changing its meaning: paragraph styles, page layout, decorative effects, and background marks all serve different purposes. Editing tasks include checking spelling, inserting explanatory footnotes, and using superscript for raised characters. For longer documents, bookmarks and links can connect readers to key locations, while document properties provide descriptive metadata. Review tools such as Track Changes let collaborators inspect proposed edits and accept or reject them. Tables require awareness of cell navigation and structure, and mail merge combines a shared letter with recipient data to produce personalized copies. The practice bank also presents command-selection scenarios, which can help distinguish similar features by the result they produce.
