(a) Describe how a table of contents can help the reader navigate the document. [2]
(b) State two other features that help a reader navigate a long document. [2]
(c) State one advantage of using automatic page numbering rather than manually typing page numbers. [1]
Answer Details
(a) A table of contents helps the reader navigate by listing all sections of the document with their page numbers. [1] The reader can quickly identify the section they need and go directly to the correct page without having to scroll through the entire document. [1]
(b) Two other features that help navigation in a long document:
- Bookmarks or hyperlinks that allow the reader to click and jump to specific sections instantly. [1]
- An index at the back of the document listing key terms alphabetically with their page numbers. [1]
(c) One advantage of automatic page numbering is that the page numbers update automatically if pages are added, deleted or reordered, [1] eliminating the errors and time wasted by manually numbering each page.
