I'm relatively new to the product suite, so this might be a very basic question - well two related questions actually. I want to apply the level of visual creativity that I have in Powerpoint/Presenter to my Engage and Quizmaster inserted pages.
1. How do I overlay a quizmaster question over a background created in powerpoint (I want to position each option within an MCQ over a graphic answer box?
2. In Engage, how can I insert an Engage interaction within a window created in a powerpoint slide - so I retain the branding created in ppt?
I used the methods to make the backgrounds on Engage and Quizs transparent. But I still have a problem. We are required to have a specific text phrase at the very top and the very bottom of certain courses. The engage and quiz takes up som much of the screen the words on the slide master are either cut off across the top for the upper branding and at the bottom for the bottom branding, or they are partially covered up by parts of the engage or quiz elements. Is there anyway to make the engage or quiz screen smaller on the display window so the branding on the master slide top and bottom can be larger than 12 point font?
I believe the only way to scale the size of the quiz and interaction would be to adjust the published output. That's not something that is officially supported by Articulate, but you may be able to get it to work using a method similar to this.

Hi Jeremy
You can make the background of engage and quizmaker transparent so you get your branding show through from your master slide
see here http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/making-your-engage-interaction-look-seamless-with-your-presenter-project.aspx
You can also insert it as a swf instead https://player.vimeo.com/video/148900990
The same can be done with quizmaker but this is a little more complicated and only one quiz can be inserted this way

Thanks Phil, two really useful movies. I'll try the simpler approach first! I'll then move onto Quizmaster - if i get stuck I'll shout.
