Adding formatting to question wording?

[jarvis24]

You can use Word or any HTML editor to format question wording like this. Just make sure to save the file in HTML (web page) format and then enter the name of the HTML file in the background field of the given question item. See the zipped file wording.htm below for an example of an HTML formatted question wording.

You can also open HTML files like this in notepad.exe for easy editing. For example, in the attached sample, you can add font tags around any text for which you like to change the color:

this text is <font color="darkred">red</font>.

will look like this:

this text is red

but <i>this text</i> is <b>blue!</b>.

will look like this:

but this text is blue!

To display the attached sample, you would enter wording.htm in the background field for any given item in your questionnaire. For precise location, you can add parameters for height, width and positioning like this:

 
wording.htm (t.1,l.1,w.9,h.2)

It's usually a good idea to add these parameters--it creates a defined space for the HTML which prevents text from running off the screen and prevents the HTML from covering up other stuff on your page (e.g., button labels and such).
