Question

Jill uses Word to create an order form. She starts out by creating a table that has three columns and ten rows. She would like her first heading to span the width of the entire table. She does which of the following to accomplish her goal?: *

a. merges the top two cells
b. merges the top three cells
c. merges the top ten cells
d. widens the first cell

Answer 1

Answer: Jill will have to b) merge the top three cells so that her first heading can span the width of the entire table.

Explanation: If Jill merges the top two cells, one of the cells will still remain and therefore she will not be able to span the width of the entire table. She cannot merge the top ten cells because the problem states the has 3 columns. The 10 rows occupy the entire table and are not located at the top of the table. Jill could widen the first cell, however, it will limit her table to one large column and 10 rows. The problem states that only the first heading or row should be occupying the entire width, therefore b) merges the top three cells is the correct answer.
