Adobe Presenter 6

Edit quizzes and questions

After you have created question slides in a presentation, you can edit them as required.

Change question slide order

After you have created question slides in a presentation, you can change their order. The easiest method is to move the slides in PowerPoint.

  1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
  2. In the Outline pane, drag the slide icon to a new location.

    The next time you open the Quiz Manager (from the Adobe Presenter menu), the new question order is displayed.

Delete a question slide

You can delete a question slide at any time. The easiest method is to delete the slide in PowerPoint.

  1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
  2. In the Outline pane, select a slide and click Delete.

    The next time you open the Quiz Manager (from the Adobe Presenter menu), the question slide will not be listed.

Add a feedback message to a question

Because quizzes are interactive, it’s important to guide users through any question slides you place in projects. An easy way to communicate with users is through feedback messages. These are messages that display, for example, when a user selects a correct answer or incorrect answer. Feedback messages are set for individual questions, so you can choose to include messages in some questions or all questions within a quiz.

  1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
  2. From the Adobe Presenter menu, select Quiz Manager.
  3. Select a question and click Edit Question.
  4. Click the Options tab.
  5. In the If Correct Answer area, select the Show Correct Message option to display a message for users confirming that they selected the correct answer. Deselect the Show Correct Message option if you do not want to display a message for users when they select the correct answer.
  6. In the If Wrong Answer area, select the Show Error Message option to display a message for users stating that they selected the incorrect answer. Deselect the Show Error Message option if you do not want to display a message for users when they select the incorrect answer.
  7. In the If Wrong Answer area, select the Show Retry Message option to display a message for users when they select the incorrect answer, but have remaining answer attempts available. Deselect the Show Retry Message option if you do not want to display a message for users when they select the incorrect answer, but have remaining answer attempts available.
  8. In the If Wrong Answer area, select the Show Incomplete Message option to display a message to users who do not supply an answer to a required question.

    Click OK two times to close all of the dialog boxes.

Edit feedback message text in a quiz

Presenter provides default text for feedback messages that are displayed for users, but you can edit the text at any time. The text is set at the quiz level so that all questions within a quiz display the same feedback messages.

  1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
  2. From the Adobe Presenter menu, select Quiz Manager.
  3. On any quiz, click Edit Quiz Settings.
  4. Select the Allow User to Review Quiz option and click Question Review Messages.
  5. Accept the default text or type new text directly into the text boxes for Correct, Incomplete, and Incorrect feedback messages.
  6. Click OK three times to close all of the dialog boxes.
    Note: If you change the default labels, the question feedback messages also change for questions that have already been created.

Change default labels

You can change the default labels on question buttons and question feedback messages. This is an easy way to customize communications with users taking quizzes.

  1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
  2. From the Adobe Presenter menu, select Quiz Manager.
  3. Click Default Labels.
  4. Under Default question button labels, change any of the following options:
