Exam overview
About the Exam MO-100: Microsoft Word (Office 2019) Exam
Word document work involves choosing features that support readability, layout, and efficient editing. Page margins control the space between content and page edges, while watermarks place faint text or imagery behind document content. Sorting can organize selected paragraphs alphabetically, and drop caps and text boxes provide distinct ways to position or emphasize text. Longer documents may use an index to help readers locate references by page. Accessibility decisions include supplying alternative text that conveys the purpose of meaningful images to people using assistive technology. Editing tools such as spelling checks and word counts help review text, including a selected passage. Practice scenarios can help connect each task to the appropriate Word command and distinguish features that affect text flow from those that add independent objects or page-level effects.

- Compare a text box with ordinary paragraph text by inserting one and observing how it can be positioned independently of surrounding text flow.
- Review how to create an index entry and generate an index so readers can locate a person or subject by page.
- Add alternative text to a meaningful image and check that its description communicates the image's purpose rather than merely naming its appearance.
