In Word 2003 MOS OBjectives, what does Microsoft mean by "locate,.

In Word 2003 MOS objectives for certification, what does MS mean by "locate,
select, and insert supporting info"?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

In what context?

Dear Suzanne: I have already stated the context, when I said, "In the Word
2003 MOS Objectives..." In other words, to get MOS certification, people
have to take a test. Part of the test requires candidates to "locate, select,
and insert supporting info"? But Microsoft never states precisely where they
expect you to locate this info, how you would select it, how it constitutes
supporting info, and what the nature of the info would be. In other words, MS
is so vague as to be totally unhelpful. Does anyone at Microsoft know
specifically what this MOS standard means???

No, you did NOT state the context. If you possessed the particular
skill you cited, and if you had applied it in your original question,
you would not have used the undefined acronym "MOS", which can mean
Microsoft Office Specialist or Microsoft Office System, and you would
have elucidated your question better. If you possessed the particular
skill you cited, and if you had applied it in your reply to Suzanne's
request for clarification, you might have said something like: "I am
quoting from
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/officespecialist/objectives/Word2003ExamSkillStandards.asp
, in which the ability to 'locate, select, and insert supporting
information' is a skill listed in the context of 'Creating Content'",
instead of the "you idiot..." approach that you chose to take. Note
that I was able to locate the web page that you were reading, and I
inserted a link to it as supporting information in this reply.

Well, unfortunately there's no one from MS here, although there may be an
occasional drop-in who's taken the MOS tests and might have some idea. Is
there a feedback link on the page garfield-n-odie cited? Or is there a
sample test that might give you an idea of how that objective is carried out
in the test?
