To build on what Math said: When you insert a text-entry field, Storyline automatically creates a Text variable. It's value is blank.
When the user types something into the field and then clicks outside the field, the variable updates its value to hold whatever the user typed.
Variable values can be accessed from anywhere within a course. This is call referencing a variable. There are a few ways to insert a variable reference within on-screen text:
- Type the name of the variable with percent signs at the beginning and end. For example, the default name of the variable for the first text-entry field is called "TextEntry." To display the value of that variable, enter "%TextEntry%" in the appropriate place.
or
- With your cursor in the position where you want the variable to display, go to the INSERT tab, click Reference, and then select the variable to display.
Note that variable references will have a yellow highlight around them when you are editing the file. That's there to let you know it's a variable. The yellow highlight won't appear when you preview or publish.
Thus, the way to display all 10 responses on one slide is to insert references to them.
- It sounds like the entries could be long, so you might need to insert them into a scrolling panel.

As for letting the user print/save their responses, that could be trickier, especially if they're in a scrolling panel. There are posts in the Forum about using JavaScript to create a PDF. That's probably the best option. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those bookmarked, so you'll have to do some searching.
