When I enter a question that is more than one line, the checkbox floats in the center of the question instead of at the top left. I tried using Align Text / More Options and setting the top internal margin at 35 or so to bring it even with the top of the question, but, while it works on some questions, it does not on others. And, in preview, what I saw in edit is not what I see in Preview. I've tried doing it on the Slide Master with no success. Any ideas? Thanks!!!
Hi Catherine - I'm not seeing a file attached here. If you attached via e-mail that doesn't make it through to the forums. Be sure to pop directly into the forum and utilize the Add Attachment option in the bottom left of the reply window here :)
By the way, I have discovered that, for options to "stick," the checkbox cannot be selected when those options are set. It still doesn't allow me to align them with the text, though.
So sorry! I should have mentioned this before. Here are instructions on how to create an Articulate Package. This will result in a zip file, and you can send that over to me.
I took a peek into your file, and I did not observe any misalignment with your Quizmaker quiz questions in edit mode, preview mode, or in the published output here.
In regards to the submit button, the size is standard within the player and cannot be changed. However, you are welcome to submit this as a feature request here.
Thanks for your fast response. I don't have Storyline, which is what I see referenced when I go to the DPI site you sent. I don't know if I made clear what I mean by "alignment." Here's what I see, above. The checkbox should be level with the word "The" and not be in the middle of the text. Is this what you mean too?
Thanks for sending the screenshot - now I understand what you mean. The radio button is aligned to the center of the answer choice by design, but you can change that by adjusting the internal margins. If you don't have luck with that method, you could always align the radio button to the top of a new textbox. Both of those methods are explained in this video. I hope this helps!
Thanks. I did experiment a lot with the internal margins but had little luck as they didn't stay static in Preview but moved all over the place. I'll keep trying.
I believe the alignment is jeopardized by the fact that I must make all of the questions randomized, which means that customizing the margins creates a mess when they change. I don't think there is a way around this. Thanks for your trouble!
Thanks for popping back in to give me an update. I'm sorry we weren't able to determine a workaround for your project, but as always, you're more than welcome to submit this as a feature request here.

Hi Catherine!
Would you mind sending us your file so we can try to replicate on our end? You can use the Add Attachment button right here in this thread.
Sure, here you go.

Hi Catherine,
Are your Quizmaker slides inside Presenter? If so, can you please send over the .zip package?
If not, the .quiz file will do :)
Here's the whole thing. The ultimate goal is to make the quiz more appealing to the eye, stuff like alignment and a larger "submit" button. !!

Good grief, sorry I'm so dumb.
Not a problem at all! There are two ways to get a zip file, so it can be confusing. I'm taking a look at your file now :)

You might be seeing misalignment due to your DPI settings. Here's how to switch to 96 DPI.
