Distractors

A recent quiz included so-called distractors. Here are the details from the left-hand column:

• • § is also called a section sign

  • ™ is a trademark symbol

  • "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit," begins with an example of an initial which is not dropped. Interestingly, the examples of drop caps on Wikipedia do not display correctly on Internet Explorer, but do on Firefox. You should have seen the examples right in Word.

  • "Pre-made images used to illustrate any medium" is the definition of clip art, which you have been adding to your documents.

In the right-hand column we had these:

• • Justification, not to be confused with alignment, which causes both left and right edges of text to line up with both left and right margins.

  • A registered [trademark] symbol looks like ®.

  • An invitation is what you respond to with an RSVP.

  • A fan fold is used for continuous paper.

  • A line break marker shows where text is split across lines without ending a paragraph. Word displays it as a little arrow head pointing down and then bending left, much like what is shown on many enter keys. Insert the symbol by pressing Shift-Enter.

  • The copy me symbol is fabricated.
