In MS Word, Shift + F7 is the shortcut key for which feature?
- A.Thesaurus
- B.Word count
- C.Print preview
- D.Track changes
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Thesaurus. With the cursor on a word, Shift + F7 opens the thesaurus pane, which lists synonyms and, for many words, antonyms, and lets the chosen word be inserted in place of the original. It is grouped with the spelling checker in the Proofing group of the Review tab, where F7 alone starts the spelling and grammar check.
Option B, word count, is shown on the status bar and opened from the Review tab; its shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + G. Option C, print preview, now appears beside the print settings in the Backstage view and is reached with Ctrl + P. Option D, track changes, which records every insertion and deletion for a reviewer, is switched on with Ctrl + Shift + E. None of these three is tied to Shift + F7.
