I'm trying to do a hot spot question in a quiz. The Add Hotspot button is grayed out. It doesn't matter if I'm in form view or slide view, it's still not available. On top of that, when I try to save and close, it gives the message, "This question must include a hot spot." How can I add a hotspot when it won't let me?
I've tried deleting the quiz, saving my file, and rebooting my computer, hoping it would reset something in Quizmaker. No luck. Does anyone have any solution? Thanks!
I love it when the answer is so simple. I had inserted the image directly into slide view from the Insert - Picture command instead of using the Choose Image button in the form view. Can you tell this is my first hot spot question?
You will need to use Choose Image to change your picture. Before inserting your new picture, try resizing the image outside of Quizmaker (using something like SnagIt); the optimal size for QM images is 686 x 424.
Hey Dario, see if this screencast helps. There are a couple different ways to switch the image you're using for your Hotspot question, and once you do, you can always use the Slide View of the question editor to change the location or size of either the image or the hotspot.

Hi Beverly.
You need to choose an image using the Choose Image button first. Then you can add the hotspot to the image.

Thanks, Justin, for the fast response!
Friends, I am trying to change pictures in an already built hot spot question in a quiz but I can't.
If I choose to insert it while in Form View, then I cannot move the new one to front or delete the current one.
If I choose to use the Choose Image button the image is locked in a specific dimensions and cannot be changed. . .
Is there anything you know I can do. . .?
