How can I remove an unwanted, seemingly permanent button from my quiz results page that only appears in publish mode?

Question

When I publish my project, on the quiz results page at the end there is a "continue" button. It does not appear in my project in edit, play or preview modes. I wouldn't mind it so much and might be willing to ignore it, except that it is off-center, oversized and distorted (so it looks unprofessional). I can't find any obvious culprits in the properties or quiz properties settings. Would anyone have any ideas as to how this button came to appear in publish mode and, more importantly, how to get rid of it?

I was checking in Preview mode, and I forgot the quiz results slide might look different in Publish mode. I see that you are right - I could NOT cover up the continue button after all. It still is not working, however, so I simply dragged it off the slide to keep it from view (Windscorpion's original solution, I noticed). Also, I have now made sure that there is one more slide following the results slide. Clicking on the "Forward" button in the navigation bar will take the user from the quiz results slide to the final slide. (I did check the pause function as you suggested - it wasn't a problem.)

I guess the real mystery is, as you indicate, why the Continue button won't work. To be honest, it COULD be because I deleted one or more embedded objects a couple of months ago when I was setting up this project. It is my first Cp project, and I knew even less about what I was doing then than I do now. I do not specifically remember deleting embedded objects, but I could easily have done so. One thing I am learning through the forum is to NEVER delete embedded objects! In any case, the published form of this particular project seems ready, so I have submitted it to our LMS platform and eagerly await news on any further issues.

I hope it works, but when you reread the thread, you'll see that I would never drag that button off the score slide because of its importance! You can make it invisible on the slide by changing its fill and stroke. And make it very tiny.

Dear all: Problem solved. In edit mode, I moved the cursor around on my results page (in the approximate area where the button appears in publish mode) until it turned into a pointing hand. Even though it was not pointing at anything visible, the hand generated a hover pop-up called "continue button," indicating the button was underneath the topmost layer on the slide. I did a right-click, Arrange, Bring to Front, and brought it to the top so that it was visible. From there, I was able to tweak its appearance.

Thanks all for your responses.
