I am creating some quiz slides both multiple choice and true false. I can see under the customized tab button it allows me to add specific alternate text to my questions but when I go and try and select my individual answer sentences the alternate text option is only allowing me to edit the answer options as a group not individually. I used to be able to specifically select each answer sentence and type specific alternate text for that specific answer. Why is it suddenly only allowing the alternate text window to view the answers as a group?
I recommend utilizing the Size and Position window as the answer choices are not available for custom tab order, which explains why you are not seeing them broken down.
The Size and Position window lets you control an object’s height, width, rotation, scale, crop, and location. It's also where you enter alternative text, which is important for learners who rely on screen readers. See this tutorial for details.
As one of my screen shot shows I did use the Size and Position button option to add specific alternate text to my quiz answer. But then when viewing the customized tab button my alternate text I just added under the size and position window is not there so my screen reader will not read my customized alternate text its only readying what is available under the custom tab button window. I never had this issue before so if you have any more suggestions I open to trying anything.
(FYI I submitted a support case and the answer given back from the support team was to make my quiz slides a freeform slide. I then ran into another error where when I published my new freeform quiz slides in publish view the answers were already marked making it not really a quiz anymore if the answers were already marked) I have not yet heard back from support if they know why this is happening either.
Thanks Tami for letting me know that you are working with support on this issue. I see your case (00896324) and that you are working with Vevette. I would encourage you to continue working with our support engineers. I am downloading a screen reader now to test something and will pop back in with an update.
Thanks Leslie for your help. I'm struggling working with Vevette seams we are in different time zones and was hoping for a quicker response then in 12-18 hours later. Any help I can receive is greatly appreciated from all parties.
Can I send you a file that has the specific slides i'm having issues with. They are answers that have acronyms. JAWS does not say the acronym word/letters correctly unless I go into each slide and spell out the acronym words and not have them abbreviated. For example if I have the acronym ALC it does not say A L C JAWS sounds it out like the animal ELK is being said. That is my main concern of being able to individually add each line answer item have it's own alternate text. Not keep it grouped together under the customized tab button.
Thanks so much for the help Leslie! I have uploaded a zipped published file to the secured link above. It is slide 4 that the acronyms and JAWS are not working together on.

Hi Tami,
Please look at the screenshot. Is this what you mean?
Hi Tami!
I'm not following your question here. Would you be able to provide a screenshot to help me understand or steps to re-create?
I hope I can make sense here. Attached are some screenshots. Read the screenshots saved as name and it explains more detail as to what I'm meaning

Hi Tami!
I published and uploaded a demo to Tempshare to test with JAWS and it is reading each selection as I would expect it to.

Sure. You can share here via the 'Add Attachment' option in the reply window or if you need to share privately, you may do so here.
