I have created 7 lessons with a combined total of 185 questions.  After testing my project and a request from the client they want to default label to change.  Instead of the default - For example...I need to change to "Incorrect.  Review quiz carefully."  I change the label in the quiz prefs but how do I update the question sides with the new label?

    Yes, you do need to edit each caption, but in this case it doesn't need to be a manual exercise.

    Use 'Find and Replace' on the Edit menu:

    Thanks everyone.  I think it is strange the other quiz presences changes make global updates but not the labels.  I learned the hard way.  The 'y' is hard for the find and replace to pick up but I got through it!

    What is part of a style or a master slide, can be applied to existing question slides, but labels are not considered to be styles, nor part of the master slide.

    Changing the Quiz Preference will only change newly added question captions.

    You need to edit each of the existing captions manually.
