Inserting a question into a blank slide

I need to add an explanation slide at the beginning of my quiz, I need to give the delagates an example of what is required and would like to add a question to this slide.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks
Jim

Hi Jimbotot,
sounds like you have a slide which you like so far, but you want to add a sample fill in the blanks.
You will not be able to add a real fill in the blanks question slide, as you would need to create this first and add the content later.
But you could choose a Text_Entry_Box and build your Text around this.
That could fake the real question and give the users a good idea of what is going on.
The other possibility would be to screenshot the real question and add in the screen.
Is this what you are talking about?

  • Inserting a video into Power Point Slide

    I am using Power Point 2011 version 14.4.5 on my MacBook Air with OSX 10.9.5.  When I insert a video clip (mp4) into a new slide it plays fine but when I close the reopen the file it is a picture of the first frame and I can't play it.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running? What version of PowerPoint do you have? Background information for now.
    A prel file is the project file for a Premiere Elements project. It is not a video file that can be imported into non supported software.
    You cannot even open a Premiere Elements project prel in another project.prel.
    You can create a Timeline in a Premiere Elements project and export that Timeline to a  file saved to a format that is compatible with PowerPoint.
    And, then you Insert/Video that file into your PowerPoint presentation. With Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, this seems to be what is supported video-wise
    Please review, and then let us know if you need clarification on any of the above.
    Thanks.

  • Captivate 4 Questions coming up blank.

    I'm having some major problems with quiz answers not showing up.
    Just the Letters from the choices show on the slides (About 7 Questions slides mixed in the first 43 Slides, there are a total of about 85 slides)
    Muliple choice and single choice graded
    Questions slides after 43 all work correctly
    Check Boxes show
    Check boxes are unrelated to the the correct answers because when I mark the correct boxes I get the Incorrect answer texts.
    Captivate is running on Windows XP Pro 32 bit SP2.
    Captivate with latest update (build 1658)
    Published on two different XP Pro 32 bit machines with same result
    Publishing as AS3 script.
    I've resized the project at least once.
    I original had the project in it's infancy as a AS2 file in captivate 3 but quickly changed it to AS3 and captivate 4 with the preferences check boxes.
    I tried creating a new blank project and copied all slides into it, but the the slides at front still had problem.
    Edited on a third machine Vista 64 bit Captivate 4 Build 1658, added a question before slide 43, moved a question slide that was before slide 43 to end and published.  Saved CP file. All questions work now.
    Opened saved CP in XP Pro machines again and published. Slides before 43 all broken again. Interesting enough the question slide I moved to end still works.
    Both XP Pro machines have had Captivate 3 installed. On one, the Main editing machine Captivate 3 is still installed along with Captivate 4 on the other Captivate 3 was uninstalled and Captivate 4 added .
    I can not install SP3 of XP Pro.
    Captivate 4 is running as Administrator on the Vista 64 bit machine
    At one point I had edited the file on Captivate 4 Vista 64 bit and then brought back to the XP Pro Machine for final edits.
    How do I get this working in XP Pro 32 bit? Am I missing something between the two versions?  I think I could move all question slide to end and navigate back and forth but this is fragile at best. I wouldn't want to be trusting that this will work three weeks from now.

    I've ironed out a lot of the bugs in the questions
    now.  Had to move all the questions to the end of Captivate project and set all questions to only 1 try.
    I use advanced actions to jump to and away from the questions slides. Basically if I've been to the questions slides don't jump there, jump to the next slide. This action is run on the slide before the question, for example on slide 12 I must jump to slide 64 if I've not been to the question slide yet, other wise I jump to slide 13,. On the slide after the question set (A blank slide with a continue button, I use the same advanced action which will jump to slide 13 as I've just finished the questions).
    The questions being moved to the end of the project was done to get around the initial problem with Questions coming up blank earlier  in the project (About 1/3rd the way in, question slides would appear blank but when placed at the end of the project they would show up correctly and again only after I had moved to a Vista 64bit machine, not sure if the 64 bit operating system was a red herring but at the point of the move things that where not running started to run, including advanced actions).
    Each of my questions had 2 tries on them with two captions (The first caption to say that the response was wrong, try again and the second one to say incorrect the correct answers are.) After a certain point in the slides (even when moved to the end) two incorrect answers would stop the slide from advancing, to advance had to use the progress bar or multiple clicks on the Play button, clicking "anywhere" just wouldn't advance. I moved back to just a single try and the advancement problem disappeared. Hardly a real solution as I want the student to actually think about a incorrect answer as opposed to get the right answer no matter what they do. I didn't want to enable review as an alternative because I was having so many problems with slide movement as it was never mind adding review to the formula.
    I also had to simplify several complex animations that used the timeline. In a nut shell, one Continue or Next Slide button per slide. Working with multiple buttons at different timeline markers was unreliable. I found that occasionally you would have to click a second time on transparent buttons to advance the timeline. When this clicking problem happened I would find that some slides later, a transparent button programmed for next slide or Jump to Slide would instead jump back to the slide in which I had to click twice. As soon as you adjusted the timeline (which was more an act of praying too ones god) so that you only had to press it once,  both the the jumping back to the slide in question and the single click would work for a bit (Once it was working don't go there till it breaks again)
    Nihaar, I'll resubmit my working project to you so you can see the problems that still reside in the show. I'd love to not have to stand on one leg while juggling three balls and one machete. It would be nice to just have to stand on one leg, the machete and three balls just come unnaturally to me and I'm always afraid that I'll be left standing holding just one ball.
    Advanced actions:
    The following Advanced Action is for the final lesson final info slide, It jumps to the final question set (L7 Review 1)  or to the next slide (Congratulations slide) if the questions have been seen. The script also shows the play bar (First question slide of a set turns the play bar off). Note that Q7Complete is a user Variable. When you declare the variable set it's value to 1 (In some computer languages 0 can be problematic, so I, as a habit use 1).
    This Advanced Action is run on a button in the last info slide where you want to jump to the question or not  and on a blank "On Slide Enter" that you have added after the last question of the set. The "On Slide Exit" of the blank slide should be set at "No Action". If you forget to set the "No Action" the "On Slide Enter" advanced action will not navigate away from the blank slide properly.
    On each question set the first question slide,  set the "On Slide Enter" to set the cpCmndShowPlaybar = 0 to hide the play bar during the question slides.
    Please note that you should order the questions sets first to last when using this method. Do not mix up the order as I found that making questions mandatory (not a bug but a good feature) causes a problem in the navigation in and out of the question slides. Also ensure the person does not visit the questions a second time as this causes the questions already answered to reset. Each set of questions has it's own User Variable and Advanced Action.
    Check if   ( Q7Complete not equal to 2 )
    begin
              Q7Complete := 2
              Jump to slide L7 Review 1
    end
    or Else
      begin
             Q7Complete :=2
             cpCmndShowPlaybar := 1
             Jump to slide Congratulations
    End

  • Inserting Blank slide

    Is there a way to insert a blank slide into a project that has 'rest of the project' selected for graphics and text? Basically I want to insert a blank slide into a template. I don't want the properties from the previous slides to carryover to the blank slide.
    Thanks for your help,
    Traci

    You'll need an advanced action to hide those objects on the blank slide. This will do the job, but you cannot re-show the objects on the slide after the blank slide. I blogged about possibilities of showing/hiding objects in Captivate, perhaps that will explain better what I mean:

  • Inserting Blank slides

    I am using Captivate 1 and creating a project with blank
    slides that link to movies. I have created a "template" with a
    header and several objects that I want to appear on every slide.
    They are .bmp images.
    When I insert a blank slide my images do not persist even
    though I selected "Display for rest of movie" in the Options tab. I
    have seen presentation where adding a blank slide creates a slide
    with the header or whatever on it but I don't know how it was done.
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to our community, stephlyn42
    My question back to you would be to ask where exactly you are
    inserting the Blank slides?
    If you inserted an image on perhaps Slide 4 and configured it
    for the project, it only should appear on slides that follow the
    image. So if you inserted the Blank slide on perhaps Slide 2, it
    won't show there.
    If that isn't it, I'm a bit stumped... Rick

  • Inserting a Question Slide

  • Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc

    Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc, does anyone know how to fix this?  The photo's I burnt on the exact same type of disc work fine in both pc and macbook but the videos will only play on the pc.

    If you are trying to play these on quicktime then what video format are those videos?
    Wmp's?  You need to install Flip4Mac. 
    Most other formats?  Install Perian.
    Or just use vlc instead.  It's a much better, more powerful, and more general video player.

  • Captivate 7 -- Insert Blank Slide bug?

    Hi,
    I'm creating a tutorial in Captivate 7 (Win 8.1) using screen shots (taken from another computer using Windows 8.1 Update). I would like the last slide to be a blank screen that I will then mock up. I use "Insert > Blank Slide" to do so. The slide, in the filmstrip, appears to be blank. However, when I click on the slide, it shows a screen shot from a previous slide. I can't get rid of it. The image file doesn't appear in the Timeline nor, as already stated, in the Filmstrip.
    What can I do? I want to add a SmartShape to cover the screen but I want the alpha toned down to 80%. When I do that, I can see the background image that shouldn't be there in the first place. Help!

    Check if the timing of the image on the previous slide is set to Rest of the Project.

  • Insert Blank Slide 100% cpu utilization

    I tried to start from scratch assuming the files have become
    corrupt. When creating a new captivate, inserting a blank slide
    maxes cpu and pf usage jumps instantly to freeze the workstation.
    Not responding.
    reboot.
    Again.

    Hi Margaret_M
    Reason I asked about networks is that I experienced similar
    problems in the past, because I was connected to a company network
    and the autosaving of data from my machine to the company servers
    during capture created problems under the following circumstances:
    Open Captivate
    Record a section of the app
    Edit the section
    Record a new section (before saving again)
    Saving between recording sessions seemed to fix the problem
    Could this be it? Heres hoping

  • Can anyone tell me how to insert a short video into a Keynote slide presentation?

    Can anyone tell me how to insert a short  (20 sec) video into a Keynote slide presentation?

    Gary, thank you for responding:
    1) I know my "profile" indicates I'm on Mountain Lion.  I have not figured out how to update that.  I am using Yosemite and Keynote Version 6.5.2 on a 15" Macbook-Pro  (tell me how to update my profile, please - nothing I click on opens any kind of "edit" options)
    2) My 20 sec video does play in Quicktime.  I find nothing in the Quicktime Inspector about deselecting "start movie on click."
    3) in my slide presentation I can insert the video on a slide okay and if I click on it can get it to play, But I cannot seem to get it to play after a transition automatically.  Maybe it cannot be done.  Obviously I would like the entire presentation to play automatically without clicking on or between slides.
    Again, thank you for you kind help!

  • 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.
