Moving/Copying Questions Without Changing Question Type

Previous   Contents   Next  

If you want to move a question to a different location in a question bank or if you need to make a duplicate to edit:

  1. Click anywhere inside the Edit Questions window to make it active, or from the Window menu, choose Edit Questions.
  2. From the Question menu, choose Go To Question. Type in the question number of the question you wish to move or copy and click OK.
    From the Edit Questions window, make note of the question type.
    The question type will display to the right of the buttons.
  3. From the Edit menu, choose Select All.
  4. From the Edit menu, choose Cut or Copy.
    NOTE: When Select All and Cut are used sequentially, an alert dialog will ask you if you want to delete the question. If you only want to copy the question, leaving the original question as is, choose the Copy option.
  5. From the Edit Questions window, use the arrow buttons to forward to the first blank question template.
  6. From the Question menu, select the same question type as the original question type (see step 3).
    If you are not pasting the question into the same question type format, MicroTest Pro will not format the question as copied. A multiple choice template will only accept information copied from another multiple choice question and a matching template will only accept information copied from another matching question.
  7. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
  8. From the Edit Questions window, click the Save button.
