SLIDE MASTER - QUIZ ANOMALY
May 24, 2015

The Slide Master / Quiz template has two text boxes. The top box that holds the question sizes nicely to hold larger questions. Text Box 2, the bottom text box that holds the choices will drop-down as needed to appear below the question.
The vertical size of Text Box 2 that holds the choices doesn't seem to resize for my choices. If I have five choices, the master better have enough vertical size for Text Box 2 to contain the five choices.
Fine so far until a question has only two choices. In this case, Text Box 2 is more than twice as tall as I would like it to be.
Choosing "Resize Shape to fit text" for Text Box 2 in the slide master will not resize the choice box.
Is this a bug or feature by design?

Additionally: trying a manual resize of Text Box 2 on the target quiz gives unpredictable results.
Hi Sam,
When you mention it doesn't drop down - do you mean it's not expanding or starting a scroll panel to accommodate all the choices? What type of quiz question are you working with?
Multiple Select generally, some true/false. I'd like TextBox 2 to resize to fit just two choices as in true/false. It seems I have to size it in the master template to fit the largest number of choices.
Hi Sam,
Ah, I understand now what you're looking for - I'd look instead at using more than one set of masters for your question slides and applying the ones you need as you work.
Sure. I thought there may be an inconsistency or bug since the question text box resizes automatically, but the choice text box doesn't.
