Questionnaire with texts - print problems

Dear community,

I included a questionnaire into  a course, which should give my students the opportunity to fill in their thoughts. This means, the included answers might be longer than the field which appears on screen. Since the students should use this form to document their thoughts, I want the slide to be printable. But: including the print-trigger, the printout only features the words which are actually seeable on screen. The rest is cut off. And: since I only can include max. 4-5 questions on a slide, the printout is way too big on the paper. Is there a way (maybe using Java) to solve these problems?

    Dear Ron, thanks for your quick feedback! And this helps - but it's not optimal.. the students will have even more things to print out then, and it also might be a bit confusing with the two printouts. Hm. But if there is no other option at hand, I am glad to follow your example! So, thanks again!

  • Using the print slide option, you only have so much real estate. Converting these questions to Quiz Questions and using the Print option on the Result slide would be the other option I would consider.

    Dear Ron, I've been trying out a couple of more things - but your way to solve the problem really seems the best way! I found another solution including Javascript - but I could only use this for one slide, not more. So thank you, again!
