A type of printer driver
A file format used only for saving images

2. Why is it important to use built-in heading styles (such as "Heading 1") rather than simply making text bold and larger manually?
A word processor can automatically generate a table of contents by scanning text formatted with heading styles
Bold, larger text is always automatically converted into a heading style regardless of the method used
Manually bold and larger text loads faster than styled text
Heading styles cannot be customised or changed once applied
Answer: A word processor can automatically generate a table of contents by scanning text formatted with heading styles — A word processor scans for text formatted with actual heading styles when auto-generating a table of contents, so manually bold, larger text will not be correctly recognised.
Medium
3. Give ONE term for a pre-designed document layout, often with placeholder text and consistent styles, that a user can open and customise.
Answer: a template — A template is a pre-designed document layout, often with placeholder text and consistent styles, that a user can open and customise for their own content.
