Question 2 — Word processing

a border (1 mark) restricted to the first page (1 mark). The "Apply to" list is how Word limits a border to one page — a page border, like margins or line numbering, is a section-level property, so without choosing "This section – First page only" the identical border would print on every page of that section, which is a different, lower-scoring result even though a border clearly exists.

marks are for the hyperlink on the right text, the correct URL, and the ScreenTip — three genuinely independent pieces of a Word hyperlink (display text, address, hover tooltip), each checkable on its own. Select the whole phrase, because linking only part of it would cost the first mark: the display text of the finished link is whatever was selected when you pressed Ctrl+K, so a partial selection makes the link partially cover the required phrase. Type the address exactly with no trailing spaces, since Word treats the Address box as a literal destination string — an accidental trailing space can make the link resolve to a slightly different (broken) URL even though it looks identical on screen.

the paper hides the year by "suppressing" it — a citation field can independently show or hide its Author/Year/Title parts without deleting any of that data from the underlying source record. Unticking Year un-suppresses it so (Ndlovu, 2023) appears, pulling the year back out of the source you already have on file. Do not type the year by hand, since that breaks the citation field: a hand-typed year sits outside the field entirely, so updating the bibliography or changing the source later would no longer keep that in-text year in sync.

six actions = six marks: insert, 6 pt weight, solid line, height, width, wrapping/position — six separately checkable properties of one picture, which is why this sub-question is worth so much more than a typical 1–2 action one. Lock aspect ratio must be off or Word re-scales one dimension and you cannot reach both 4 cm and 3 cm, because with the ratio locked the two measurements are mathematically tied together and only one can be set freely. The default In Line with Text wrapping would put the picture on its own line (it's treated as one big character inside the paragraph), which is why wrapping is a separate mark: nothing about setting a border or a size changes how text flows around the picture.

[0-9]{4} means "four digits in a row" — a character class matching any digit, repeated exactly four times by the {4} quantifier. The < > markers force a whole word, so a longer number such as 15 000 or a code like 20231 is not partly matched; without them, the middle four digits of a longer number would also match, which is the opposite of what "four-digit years" means. Marks: wildcard search for four digits, green format, Replace All. Doing it by hand would miss instances in footnotes and citations — exactly the kind of place a human skim-read overlooks but a pattern search does not. An alternative without wildcards: Find ^#^#^#^#, Word's own (non-regex) shorthand for "any digit," repeated four times.

marks for two columns, line between, first column 7 cm. Equal column width must be off, otherwise Word forces both columns to match, which directly contradicts an instruction asking for one specific, uneven width. "Selected text" makes Word wrap the passage in continuous section breaks so the heading and rest of the page stay single column — columns, like line numbering and margins, are a section property, so only the selected passage can become its own section while everything around it is left alone. The paper tells you to ignore the page border change, which happens because the new sections affect the "first page only" border from 2.1: inserting section breaks changes which pages count as part of that first section, a side effect of the same section mechanism rather than a mistake on your part.

mark 1 = source correctly created (right type and fields); mark 2 = Bibliography field refreshed. The Bibliography does not update by itself, because — like the TOC and the Table of Figures — it's a field computed from a snapshot of the source list at the moment it was last built, not a live view of it. If the new entry does not show after updating, check that the source is in the Current List and, if needed, insert a citation to it, then update again: a source that exists in your master list but has never actually been cited anywhere in the document is sometimes excluded from the bibliography depending on the style selected.
