Question

Presenter 8 - Appearance tab - messes up fonts on slides

When I try to change fonts in the Appearance tab for quiz questions and answers and apply to all, it messes up many of the questions and answers on the slides.  On many of the slides, the words overlap and the questions are off the slide.  It's just on some of the slides.  And even though I select 'apply to all' it doesn't.

Hi,

Can you share some more details :

1.is your quiz contains a lot of texts?

2. Are you increasing the font size later in appearance settings?

If a slide contains lot of texts and chaging the size of fonts may lead to over flow the text on the slide. if the slide texts are overflowing in vertical direction then this is an expected behaviour. If it is overflowing in horizontal direction then it can be a issue. You really have to take care of the size while modifying the appearance later. Mainly with the size.

let us know how the text is overflowing in you presentation.

You can first set the appearance and then insert the quiz .This will not overlap and also not overflow the text

Mr Sahu, thank you for your response.   After creating the quiz, I attempted to change the font and sizes.  I thought I was supposed to create the quiz/presentation before I used the Appearance Tab.  Maybe I misunderstood the directions.

I ended up manually changing the fonts on each page throughout the presentation, so my screenshots today are not as messed up as they were yesterday when I attempted to change fonts and sizes of fonts in the Appearance tab.

But, for instance, today  if I only try to change the font to Questions to Arial using the Appearance Tab, below is what is happening.  As you can see below,  set the Question font and nothing else, and applied it to all quizzes (don’t I have to apply it to all quizzes for it to be applied to all slides?).  Then also below is the before and after for one of the slides below.  It messes with the answers and yesterday as I tried to adjust the size and font for questions and answers, some of the questions fonts ended up much bigger than what I put in the Appearance Tab and were off the top of the slide, and the answers were overlapping and really messed up throughout the quiz.

I’m sure I’m just doing something wrong.  Thanks for your help!
