Inserting a question in to an existing quiz

Hi,
We're using version 6.1 of Presenter in PowerPoint 2000 and
2003. We're trying to insert a question in to the middle of an
existing quiz. When I add a question in the quiz manager the newly
inserted question overwrites one of my my existing question
(slides), followed by a friendly error message dialog stating an
unexpected error occured. The question never shows up in the quiz
manager, just one of my existing questions gets splatted.
Looks like there's some sort of corruption occuring in the
quiz that I can't fix without rewriting the entire quiz.
Does anyone know how to work around this problem?
Thanks in advance
Phil

I fixed this problem by doing two things. Firstly I deleted
the summary slide at the end of the quiz. This stopped the error
dialog appearing, but the new slides I was trying to insert were
still overwriting an existing question. I then deleted the
questions that were being overwritten, and all subsequent inserted
questions worked correctly. Seems like something got corrupted in
the question slide.
The quiz result summary page gets regenerated so there's no
problem with deleting it if things get corrupted behind the
scenes.

  • Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.

    Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.
    If I use both pretest questions and graded questions, can I also include remedial with return to quiz for both?

    Sorry, but I gave two workarounds: my preference is custom question slides, but you can also have questions slides where you do not add the score to the Total score. They will not be reported to the LMS and can act as Knowledge slides. Only some quizzing system variables can count all question slides, including the Knowledge slides, but the core variables (score, maximum score, percentage) will be correct. Here some links to my blog, that could help you:

    That each SCORM module can have only one quiz is a SCORM requirement, not a a Captivate specific feature. Camtasia is bit difficult to compare, it is not a fully blown authoring tool although the best video screen capture tool around (video is non interactive by definition). I don't use Storyline, but cannot imagine that they shouldn't create SCORM-compliant files.

  • Inserting a Question Slide

    I am trying to insert a question slide, but it keeps defaulting to insertion as slide 9 when I need it to be later in the slide deck.  I cannot seem to move the slide to where I need it either.  Can someone help me fix this, please?

    Hi There,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Can you tell me the version of Captivate You are using (Go to Help > About Adobe Captivate) ?
    Have you tried the same with a new Blank Project ?
    Try to Copy and Paste all the slides in a new Blank project of same resolution and then check .

  • Captivate 8: Can I create a random question pool from existing quiz slides?

    I made a quiz for a client, published it out and everything works perfectly.  Now the client has decided that they want the questions to be random.  I have tried to add my existing question slides to the question pool, however I have no idea how to do this correctly.  Nothing I try seems to work - the only tutorial I could find was on the Adobe site and it simply said to create a question pool and then drag the slides to the timeline, replacing the question pool slides with the existing slides.  But I cannot drag the slides for some reason, and I am very confused about these directions, they don't seem to mesh with my version of Captivate.
    My questions weren't part of a question pool when I developed this quiz as I had no idea such a thing existed. And now I see through every tutorial I find, a question pool is necessary for randomizing the questions.  So, my question is... is there a way to do this with existing question slides, or will I have to start all over again? 

    Hi there
    Should be even simpler. Select the question slides and right-click. There should be an option to send them to the desired pool!
    Cheers... Rick

  • Retaking incorrect questions as opposed to whole quiz

    Greetings all,
    I know this question has been asked before but I could not find an answer. I want to know if there is an already existing feature in Adobe Captivate that would allow a user to re-take individual questions that were answered incorrectly as opposed to re-taking the whole entire quiz. Theoretically everyone should be able to get 100% on this quiz.
    Also when a user retakes each individual question would it be possible to implement a button that goes to a certain slide to reference information for the user if they are having trouble with the question?
    Thanks
    Michael Lantz

    That is one possible solution, however I have documentation that the quiz is based off contained in the same Captivate quiz. I would like the user to be redirected to that documentation temporarily so that they cannot keep guessing random answers. It's not a huge loss if I can't do it but as my client is more concerned that everyone should pass. To confirm the quiz is consisting of multiple choice, true or false, and fill in the blank.
    Thanks for your helpful suggestion though

  • How do you insert another PDF document into an existing PDF page

    Here's some background.  I used to use Acrobat 5 (I know it's really old but it worked great for my needs, but it's time to upgrade).  Say I have an existing 1 page PDF document (an Invoice for example).  Sometimes in Excel I create additional supporting details/calculations/etc that I must place onto the Invoice.  In the past I would print my Excel document to PDF using PDF Broadgun (great tool!) - and I'd like to keep doing this.  Then I would go into Acrobat 5, open up my 1 page Invoice PDF document, then I'd use the Form tool, insert Icon, and select my "supporting" PDF document right onto the 1st page.  Then, as needed, I could resize it and place it anywhere on the existing Invoice/PDF 1 page document that I started with, and the resolution was great (i.e. no "grainy" appearances, etc).
    I've now upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro (well, technically I'm trialing to make sure it'll will meet my needs - so far so good, until I ran into this).  I have tried copying the Excel data directly into my PDF Invoice document, but it often times makes the object super large (way off the page left to right) and then I have to resize it (substantially reducing the size) in order to make it fit the page.  This resizing the causes the text to appear "grainy".
    So pretend that my original Invoice/PDF 1 page document took up the top 1/2 of the page.  Then in Excel I create some backup which is say 5-10 lines of calculations.  How can I get the Excel backup as an Image into my original 1 page document (and on 1 page)?  The only work around that I've found so far is to insert it as the last past, then highlight the new stuff from Excel, cut and copy it onto page 1 (these seems like several extra steps in my eyes, but it does work).
    I also want to avoid using screen snip-it, snagit, and various other tools for the following reasons:
    1.  I don't want to remove the grid lines within Excel (i.e. when you print from Excel the grid lines do not print by default)
    2.  I use PDF Broadgun to generate a PDF (i.e. electronic print) and then the data/document looks just like I'd want it to look if I had physically printed it
    Any thoughts?  Many thanks in advance for the help too.
    Other Details:  Windows 7 Pro, company/business use

    I don't see what the problem is with printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer as you did with the other tool. Then open your new Excel PDF and do the same process as before (assuming it worked for you). Just go to the Tools>Interactive and add a button field (I assume this is what you did before) and put the file there. At least give it a try as I think that is what you said you used to do.

    Prasad,
    I knew how to add char to cube in BW.But i am not sure about BCS .
    - What's the difference in assigning the infoobject (CostCenter) to the infocube, doesn't matter if it's the basic (ordinary) or the BCS totals cube?
    I will follow as you said.
    - Taking the BW310 or SEM240 is very useful.
    Once it is done then what are the next steps need to do it.
    - What's done? What's the question?
    I am assigning points to you
    - I do not need the points assigned for nobody knows what. Feel free to unassign them.

  • How do I add a question that is not a Quiz?

    I want to create a training project within Captivate 5.5 that includes information, questions and a quiz at the end. I don't want the questions to be part of the final Quiz - just to be 'quick checks' for the information on preceding screens.
    I also want to add a quiz at the end of the project, but I don't want this to relate to the questions I use between the training content screens.
    Can anyone help with this?

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    For each question you can decide whether or not it will be part of the Total score for the quiz (reporting accordion).
    Maybe the number of questionson the score slide, the progress indicator will have to be replaced by customized versions. Have a look at:

  • How to insert a templated page into an existing Pages document

    I'm sorry if this is a low level question.  I'm new to using Pages.  I have a word processing document started.   I want to add pages, or I guess they call them "sections" in this form (why?).   I have saved a page that I created as a template.  It exists in my template folder.   But when I go to add new pages to my document I am only offered the option of adding a text document or a blank page.  It doesn't give me the option of adding the template that I made.   Everything I've tried results in opening a new document or making a copy of the template.    This does not feel very intuitive to me.
    Thank you in advcance!

    You are taking about Pages '09? because this has been removed from Pages 5.
    Clunky as it may be it does have some very powerful features.
    You can capture as many pages into a Section as you want, which automatically sets up a document in depth. Once you have done the work, it is super fast to compose a new document from all the parts.
    It is a shame that Apple didn't simply fix what needed fixing with this model, instead of ditching it, because I am really stumped how to set up documents in the current version.

  • DB Insert Example question

        I want to insert data into a SQL database using the Insert Example.vi, as a base for my code.  I have to add a large number of parameters to the database.  My questions:
    Is there a limit to the number of parammeters I can add?
    I noticed that the example added two parameters (Device name and number of samples)  It then uses "DB tools free object.vi" two times.  Do I have to call the "DB tools....vi" once for every parameter I send?
    thanks
    Bob

    There is no "limit" to the amount of fields that you can pass through an ODBC to SQL other than your connection timing out if it is EXTREMELYYYYY large.... I would guess that for all practical purposes you would not reach this point.
    You can use the Insert Data vi which you would just have to specify the table name that you want to insert. Keep in mid that if you use this functiuon, you need to insert a cluster with THE SAME exact amount of fields as your table in the database. You would use this function if you want to insert a value to every single field in the database. If you dont, then you would use the Execute SQL Query vi, which you would wire a string with your query which in this case would be an INSERT statement.
    I hope this helps.

  • Insert link to previous slides in a quiz

    Hello,
    I am working on a quiz including questions and reference links.
    We can only add a link to open an external document or file instead of going back..
    But we would like our learners to click on the link to go back and review the previous slides in the same course.
    How can I make it happen?
    Many thanks!

    Then be sure that the user stays within the quiz scope by adding a scored object on the first slide to which you want to allow navigation. But this means that the user will not be able to answer that question when coming back to the question slide. Even if you offer multiple attempts on question level, navigating away from the question slide will block that question. Submit all is not a solution, although it allows you to navigate freely between question slides. I didn't check if it allows to go to a slide that has a scored object.

  • Insert new sequence (project) into an existing project?

    For a slide show mixing stills and video over songs:
    Project was "finished," with images arranged and sequeing as I wanted, and matched to three songs. Including credits, all nicely wrapped up.
    I now have to add more images and 1 new song. *This new sequence+song needs to insert between the current songs 2 and 3, maintaining all existing footage and audio as is.* (In other words, song/sequence 3 will still be the final sequence.)
    What is the best way to go about this?
    1) Create a separate Project B, and then insert that as a whole video+audio sequence into current Project A? Is that even possible?
    2) Insert the new audio track where it will live and begin assembling images against it?
    3) Insert and assemble the new images and then add the audio?
    4) Some other way?
    A related query: when adding new audio, it goes in as one large green b.g to the images. On my current project, each audio track is a simple line underneath the images. This latter way is much easier to deal with. How can I make that happen?
    Thanks much.
    Jonathan

    Add your new images first. Then drag the new audio track and drop it on the first of the new images.

  • Can we insert main step in between the existing main steps in GAF apps?

    Hi,
    I just wondered when I have to place an all new view between the steps already existing in the  GAF Application,
    and I was unable to find any button for insert new step or copy a step or to move a step.
    I have 5 steps in GAF App and wanted to add 6th step in between existing 4th and 5th step. But every time the new
    step gets added in the last, and I think I could not find any way to move this new step prior to old one.
    It will be tedious for creating the old step again with all the setting of toolbar and other setting if I delete the previos step.
    Isn't there any solution?

    Hi,

  • How to add ability to insert Annotations via Reader to an existing PDF form

    I have an existing PDF form created in LiveCycle ES2/Acrobat X, with fillable text boxes and all that stuff.  I want to add the ability for Reader users to insert items from the Annotations menu, but can't seem to figure out how to add that permission.  When I look at the Document Restrictions Summary in the PDF properties, it has "Commenting: Not Allowed".
    So how can I keep the existing form working as is, but add the ability for anyone to insert Annotations through Reader?

    You have two choices
    1) You can use JavaScript in your AIR application to communicate with the JavaScript in the PDF to fill in the form directly. This can all be done inside of your AIR app. This is certainly the best route to go and there is (IIRC) a sample in the AIR SDK.
    2) You can create an XFDF file from your XML data and then have Acrobat/Reader open the XFDF file to fill in the data.
    Both methods will work with Acrobat and Reader - HOWEVER, Reader users won't be able to save the PDF unless it has been Reader Enabled.

  • Menu selection: Insert / Media / Image Viewer does not exists

    Hi,
    I cannot see menu Insert / Media / Image Viewer
    What am I missing?
    My version is from
    "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium"
    --BRH

    It doesn't exist in CS6.  Adobe discontinued this feature because DW is not an image gallery creation tool.   It's web authoring software.
    If you can work with jQuery, there are dozens of image gallery & slideshow plugins you could use that are much nicer.
