What is the first action you take to add a cover page using Word's built-in templates?

• A. Open the Insert tab and click Cover Page
• B. Create a new blank document
• C. Use the Design tab to apply a theme
• D. Use the Review tab to add a cover

Answer: (A)

To add a built‑in cover page, you start where Word handles page elements: the Insert tab. Click Cover Page, and a gallery of built‑in designs appears. Choose one, and Word inserts the selected cover at the top of your document with placeholder fields for the title, author, and date that you can customize. This is the first action because the cover page is added through this command, not by starting a new document or applying formatting. Creating a blank document wouldn’t place a cover page, applying a theme changes appearance but doesn’t insert a cover page, and the Review tab isn’t used for adding covers.
