Does anyone know a quick way of putting more than one quiz question on a single slide?

    Hi Ailse,

    Your idea of using masks is a good one. You're thinking like a true Captivate expert!

    You could also try taking a screenshot of the questions on each slide, cropping them to show only the interesting parts, then inserting those images on your Question slides so it looks like the other questions are all present on a single slide.

    Only the actual Captivate question would be "live" on a given slide and your images wouldn't reflect what the user answered on previous slides, but it should be fairly convincing, especially given the circumstances.

    If you want to go all out, temporarily change the font color of each question to gray before taking your screenshot, and the questions will appear "disabled" when you import them into Captivate. This would give the user a reason why the "non-live" questions are not working on a given slide.

    Regards,
    John

    It seems such a simple thing,can someone confirm that you can't put more than one question on a slide. Or if you can, tell me how.

    Nope. One question = One slide.

    Perhaps if you can explain how you would like for things to work we might provide some form of a workaround.

    Cheers... Rick

    Thanks for the speedy response.
    Ideally I would like to be able to put more than one question per slide, and be able to use the range of question formats on any one slide, for a basic user it would be great to have that as a 'click the box' option for 2/3/4 questions to a page.
    However given that is not available at the moment, if, for arguements sake, we are talking about 3 questions, would a workaround be to have layers within 3 slides and mask different areas on each slide, effectively looking like one slide but actually progressing through the 3 ? I know there are different workarounds for most Captivate problems, and would be interested to know how others have dealt with this problem.

    Welcome to our community, James

    About the only way I might imagine it could be done would be to create a Captivate project consisting of a single question. Publish that as a .SWF. Then create a Captivate project where you would edit a slide and click Insert > Animation and drop the question project output in there. But that would likely lose any type of scoring possibility.

    The bottom line here is that question slides are exactly that. A single slide that presents a single Question. You cannot normally have more than a single question per slide.

    Cheers... Rick
