I'm trying to move the question text for a quiz question down to below the banner template we use. What I'm going for is "Knowledge Check" at the top of the slide on the banner, and the question text further down below the banner, right above the answers. I can update the quiz master to reflect this, but when I choose that layout for a slide, it insists on putting the question at the very top and calling it an "Interaction Title." That doesn't make any sense.
My only current workaround is to make every question text "Knowledge Check' and add a separate manual text box to each slide where I enter the actual question. There has to be a better solution than this.
If you're using the title placeholder, that is where the question text will appear - so you'll want to add a regular text placeholder to the top of your slide, and then move the other boxes down lower. I just tested this out with that simple set up, and the question text appeared in the correct location.
I thought that would work as well, but it won't. It replaces my "Question Title" placeholder with something called an "Interaction Title Text Box" and puts that in the wrong place. When I delete that text box, my proper placeholder appears in the Normal View, but the question is gone. I've attached a series of screenshots in PDF, as it's hard to get this without images.
maybe it's a glitch with my software. I hate to redownload it each time I find a glitch.
I'm not able to replicate this on my own files, but here are the steps I took following your images so let me know if I missed anything.
1. Went to the slide masters, and found the one for Question layout
2. Moved the default choice and question text boxes down the screen abit
3. Added a shape with the text inside the shape to read Knowledge text (I also tried it with a new text placeholder where I'd want it to say Knowledge check - same results).
4. Closed the slide master
5. Added a new quiz question, and the layout was picked up automatically.
I also tried applying a layout to an existing slide, and it picked up all the elements.
Are you modifying the built in question layout or another one of the master slide's layouts?
