As you build fill-in-the-blank slides,
you can establish associations between the statement blanks and answer values.
An association is a user-defined relationship that links a statement blank to
the correct answer.
All associations are recognizable by color
coordination. When you click a statement box that contains a statement blank,
the same colored frame appears around the statement blank and the answer value.
Similarly, if you click an answer value that has an association, the same
colored frame appears around the answer box and the related statement blank.
Note: If you click an answer box and it is not highlighted outlined by a
colored frame, then it does not have an association. This type of answer box
contains an incorrect answer. See the Add Incorrect Answer Values topic for more
information.
Open the fill-in-the-blank slide you want to establish
associations for (for instructions, see the View Slides topic).
Select the
Show All
Associations check box in the Slide Editor toolbar.
A colored frame
displays around each statement blank and answer box that has an association.
Each association is marked with a unique colored frame.
To establish a new association,
double-click a statement box.
The Edit
Statement window displays.
Highlight the word or words you want
to designate as the fill-in-the-blank entry for trainees and click
Add Blank.
This is the text that will appear as an answer option to trainees. The
highlighted text displays in blue, underlined text.
Click
OK.
The text you
selected displays in blue, underlined text as the statement blank and as a new
value box. Notice that the statement blank text and the answer box contain the
same colored frame, which indicates they have an association.
To change an existing association,
double-click a statement box that contains a statement blank.
The Edit
Statement window appears.
Highlight the existing statement
blank (blue, underlined text) that you want to change and click
Remove
Blank.
The highlighted
text changes back to black, normal text.
Highlight the word or words you want
to designate as a fill-in-the-blank entry for trainees and click
Add Blank.
This is the text that will appear as an answer option to trainees.
The highlighted
text displays in blue, underlined text
Click
OK.
The text you
selected appears in blue, underlined text as the statement blank and replaces
the former text in the answer box. Notice that the statement blank text and the
answer box contain the same colored frame, which indicates they have an
association.
Note: You cannot update an association by changing
the text in the answer box only. When you do this, the statement blank text is
not updated. In order to update an association, you must modify the statement
blank text, as defined in Step 5.
