By asking the question in this manner, the interviewer assumes that you are familiar with a call-out and how they are used. Your answer to the question will verify that you use call-outs and provide them information as to when you do this. Since this is a technical question, you should keep your answer brief and to the point and anticipate follow-up questions.

"I frequently use call-outs in my documents to annotate an illustration or drawing included in the document or provide additional information to text information. My call-outs usually consist of a line between the element of the document I am commenting about and the comment or information. I sometimes format the call-outs in bold text or use color so that the reader won't miss them."
