The examinee's performance also shows familiarity with Word file management, indicating a likely familiarity with Windows in general and other Windows applications. However, the test performance also indicates that the examinee may not be familiar with other advanced features of Word, such as macros. In addition, the test performance shows that there may be some "holes" in the examinee's knowledge of editing, printing, and formatting. The examinee can be sent on assignments that require the creation and editing of complex documents. It is recommended that the examinee receive "brush up" training on specific Word features before being sent on assignments that require the use of Word at the highest level.
