Problem with multiple slide masters
Nov 09, 2011

Hi all, I'm having a problem with Quizmaker 09 and haven't turned up any solutions in the forums.
For now, I have a simple quiz with 9 questions. I have 1 "blank" title slide at the beginning.
I have 2 slide masters: one for the title slide and the other for all the rest of the slides. In Quizmaker, all the slides look the way I expect - they use the master slide(s) I've assigned to them.
But when I publish (to LMS or Web), they all use the same slide master (the title one).
I've tried clearing my browser cache before reviewing the published quiz, but this doesn't fix it. I've also tried 3 different browsers with no luck.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrew

Hey, Andrew. Welcome to Heroes!
Have you tried publishing your quiz to the web or locally to see if you're getting the same issue?
Also, try creating a whole new quiz and publishing it to the web and then to your LMS. If you can do that successfully, we'll know the issue is related to the original quiz in question.
Let me know...
Thanks for the suggestions Peter.
I tried both of those and I still have the same problem. I'm using images as backgrounds for the masters and will try just simple colors instead.
Happy to help, Andrew. Just a few things to keep in mind when using images in Quizmaker:
That seemed to work.
So, my experience so far is that, if I use 2 quiz masters and both have images as their backgrounds, I run into trouble. Only 1 of the masters gets used when the quiz is published. When I use just solid fill backgrounds, I get no issues.
Since it's only 1 slide that uses 1 master, I'll just place the image in the master itself, instead of as its background - hopefully, that will get things working.

That worked. My slide masters are now behaving properly. It seems like there might be a bug here though - may need to submit it to Articulate.
