Hey macropod, thanks for all the help! The format is working perfectly. This week I put together two 80-90 question worksheets, and there's no way I could have done that without your help.
I attached a sample of the format. I kept the column format for the instruction tables. I split the table for the instruction box so I can format it separately. Also splitting the table gave me pretty much the exact spacing that I wanted between the instruction boxes and the questions, so that's one fewer thing to worry about. I've recently discovered that you can format individual cells separately from the rest of the table, and I've successfully changed the margins of just one cell. Can you also outline just one cell/ merged row?
To be honest, though, I have found some inconveniences of splitting off the header. For one, is there a way to put a table back together once you split it?
Also what's your general take on splitting the table for the instructions vs. keeping everything in the same table?
I used your format to construct a "Wrong Answer" form, which is also attached. The format is, again, ideal, but there is one small issue. If you take a look, you'll see that the text is not lining up with the question # (on this form I'm typing in text, rather than dragging in jpgs.) I'm sure it's a simple fix, but can you tell what's happening?
This format is so much better than any format I could have come up with on my own. I can create, add, or delete questions with no problem. It's fairly easy to reorganize questions (although I could use a tip or two on how to move whole sections/ tables around.) And the best thing is that the numbering happens automatically correctly every time. Thanks again! I would recommend this to anyone looking to format a worksheet.
