I wonder if there is a way to change the order of the Choice and Match columns in th Match drop down Q. I want the Matches to come first because they are the starting words of the sentences (which are the Choices).
I'm not sure I understand, but I made a simple example with a sentence showed in two different ways...where the beginning of the sentence is blank, and therefore they have to choose the word that belongs in the front and the second example just reverses the order.
Unfortunately you can't chnage them around. I thought you might be able to move part of it off the screen and then use text boxes but you can't do that either. I did come up with a different solution where you just put a letter or number in the Choice column. This will allow you to then shrink the size of the interaction so that you can move the Match column to the right. Then just cover up the letters/numbers with a shape the same colour as your back ground and insert text boxes with your sentences to the right of the Match colum.
No need to insert a letter in the Choice column, Blair and Mariann... Just put a blank space in the first row of the Choice column, put 2 blank spaces in the next, 3 blank spaces in the third, and so on.
Thank you all for your answers, I should have been more clear about my problem, but luckily you have managed to interpret it. You gave me nice solutions!

Hi Mariann,

Additionally, the suggestion from Steve here may work for you.
Hi Ashley and Mariann,
So, I interpreted Mariann's question a bit differently ... so it would look like this:
The only way I could figure to do that was by creating your own drop-downs and using a pick one question.
I've attached the story here. Take a look at slide 3...the first 2 slides are the ones Ashley did.
Mariann, if this IS what you were asking and you want some detail regarding how this was done, please shout out and I'll provide it.
Also, it's a very rough example...just to get the idea.

Hope that all makes sense.
