Cannot publish Quizmaker to Word, because defaults at first blank slide

Hi there, Bernard.  I'm sorry you're hitting a roadblock!  I did a quick test on the latest versions of Quizmaker '13 and 360, and I was able to publish successfully to Word, including blank slides and the question slides that came after.

Can you let me know which version of Quizmaker you're using?  Go to Help > About Quizmaker to find out.

Also, if you'd like to attach one of your projects that is failing to publish properly here, I'd love to troubleshoot it for you.  Thanks!

Thanks

I have update 9. Do I need a later update?

I attach an example of something that will not publish save in questions only format. (I have had to cut this right down in order to be able to email it, but it does illustrate the problem).

Regards

Hi Bernard,

Assuming you are using Quizmaker '13, that is the latest update.

It looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.

This also prevented your attachment from coming through, so be sure to click View in your e-mail to pop directly in the forums and use 'Add Attachment' in the reply window.

Trying again... this time I will try to post the whole file, thanks

Bernard

Hmm, so you're not getting an error it sounds like, just an incomplete publish to Word?

I was able to Publish to Word > Output Questions Only and everything printed as expected.

What version of Word are you using?

Attaching your file if helpful in the meantime :)

Yes that is my point. One can only publish as questions only, but not the full thing.

I am using MS Word 2010.

Is there a solution? Presumably it is not just me who has this problem.

Bernard

By the way, can you confirm that you have the same problem, if you attempt to publish the whole quiz to Word?

By the way Leslie, I did a Google search which revealed we basically had this whole conversation a couple of years ago, with other people also reporting the same problem.

I had hoped it would have been fixed by now but it seems not, So I assume I just have to accept I cannot print to Word (save with time consuming and worrying work-arounds).

I hope this will be listed to be addressed on the next update of the software.

Bernard

Thanks Bernard.

Let me take this moment to have a total facepalm moment 🤦🏻‍♀️

I misread your original post. Yes, I can confirm that I see the same thing in your file when publishing to Word and including the Full Quiz Details.

I then opened a new file to recreate, and it worked successfully with blank slides...so then I had to keep digging.

Seems the culprit is the Notes. If I remove the Notes, it publishes successfully. So, I will be sharing this with my team.

I'm attaching your file with the Notes removed. Are you able to publish that file as well?

I understand this is a less than ideal solution, but thanks for pushing me to get to the culprit so that we can get this reported.

OK thanks

That is a better work around than deleting those slides altogether so I will do that in future

But of course I do want the notes in the published document, so will have to save, copy them in etc

Regards

Bernard
