Creating New Questions
To create a new test question, you must move to the next to the bottom question available. This automatically creates a new question at the bottom of previously created questions.
 The first test question is created automatically.
To move from the current question to the next, select Next Question from the Navigation menu, or press the  button on the Navigation toolbar.
To quickly move to the last (or any other) question in the test, enter the question number in the input field on the Navigation toolbar and press the  button on the same toolbar. Otherwise, call the "Go to Question Number" dialog by selecting Go to Question Number... from the Navigation menu, or press the appropriate button ( ) on the Navigation toolbar.
 To move from the current question to the prior one, select Prior Question from Navigation menu, or press the  button on the Navigation toolbar.
 You can't create a new question if the prior one has not been filled. A question is filled if the Question Container and at least one Answer Container are filled.
Creating Objects and Filling Questions with Data
Having created a question you can fill it with data.
Every question may have one question field and up to 20 answer fields. These fields are either RTF documents (documents that are created using internal editor) or OLE objects (you can paste them from OLE-server applications, such as MS Word, MS Excel, MS Equation, Paintbrush and so on, or you can create them in Editor).
Question field and the answer fields are also called "containers", because they contain questions and answers data.
Working With RTF Documents
Check RTF Container from the Container menu to tell program that you would like to work with selected field using internal editor. As a result, you will see that the selected field became white. New fields will be set as RTF containers automatically (if there are no following fields with the RTF Container unchecked).
Now you can fill field with data. You can do it three different ways:
- You can double-click the field, this will open the internal editor window. You can work with internal editor just like you work with MS Word or MS WordPad;
- You can enter and edit data directly in the field, without opening the internal editor window;
- You can paste already entered data from MS Word or another editor with help of clipboard. To copy data to clipboard press
 Copy (Ctrl+C), top paste data from clipboard press  Paste (Ctrl+V).
Working With OLE Objects
Every container can contain any of the available OLE objects. For example, a Microsoft Word document, a Microsoft Excel book sheet, a Microsoft Equation expression, a Microsoft Paintbrush picture, etc. All these are OLE objects.
Inserting Already Created OLE Objects
You can insert an OLE object from a file (for example, insert a Microsoft Word ".doc" document file) or from the clipboard (for example, just copy and paste text from Microsoft Word into the question container).
To insert your prepared data into the test question, you may use one of two different methods:
- Insert your data copying and pasting from the Clipboard;
- Insert data from a data file (for example, a ".doc" file containing a Microsoft Word document).
If your data are not sorted by questions and answers (with the data for each question/answer saved in separate files), than it's advisable to insert your data using the Clipboard.
To do this, you first need to copy the data prepared for a specified question container (field) to the Clipboard (using the Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins shortcut keys to copy your data to the Clipboard).
Then the data must be pasted. To paste the copied data to a specified container, click this container and select Paste OLE Object (Ctrl+V) from the Container menu, or press the button on the OLE Clipboard toolbar.
But if the data for every container is kept in separate files or if you wish to paste all the data contained in a file, then you can past that data from a file, using the Insert Object dialog.
To do this, select Create OLE Object from the Container menu, or press the  button on the Create OLE toolbar. Then, select the Create From File checkbox on the opened Insert Object dialog. Now browse for the file you wish to insert. After selecting the needed file, press the OK button and the file will be inserted in the selected container.
Creating New OLE Objects in the Question Containers
You can create a new OLE object right in the Editor program or in a separate application (for example, in Microsoft Word).
To create a new OLE object, select Create OLE Object from the Container menu, or press the button on the Create OLE toolbar. You will see the "Insert Object" dialog. In this dialog, select the object you wish to create from the list of available objects and press the OK button to create it.
To delete a created OLE object, select Delete OLE Object from the Container menu, or press the  on the Create OLE toolbar.
Two commands are available to create quickly the two most frequently used OLE objects (Microsoft Word document and Microsoft Excel book sheet). To create quickly a Microsoft Word document, select Create Microsoft Word Object from the Container menu, or press  button on the Create OLE toolbar. To quickly create a Microsoft Excel book sheet, select Create Microsoft Excel Object from the Container menu, or press the  button on the Create OLE toolbar.
Editing OLE Objects
To edit any OLE object (or to fill it with information) you need first to "run" it (to open it with an OLE-Server Application).
The Second way to fill OLE objects with information is to paste data into them using the clipboard. So first you need to create data in an OLE-Server application (for example, in Microsoft Word) then copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into the question containers (see Inserting Already Created OLE Objects into Question Containers).
Every OLE object has "verbs". "Verbs" are commands used to "run" an OLE object. Every verb has its own name, describing the functions of this verb.
For example, the verb "Play" - plays video in a video OLE object, the verb "Record" - records video in a video OLE object, the verb "Open" - opens an OLE object document for editing in an OLE-Server application (for example, in Microsoft Word), the verb "Edit" - opens an OLE object document in-place (in Editor) for editing, etc.
The two most common verbs are "Open" and "Edit".
The "Edit" verb opens an OLE object and displays it in the Editor program, so you can edit it without opening a special window for editing the OLE object.
For example, if you created a Microsoft Word document OLE object and executed the "Edit" verb, then you will see the Microsoft Word program interface within the Editor program with the ability to edit the OLE object just like you edit any other Microsoft Word document.
The "Open" verb opens an OLE object and displays it in a separate OLE-Server application window, so you can edit the OLE object in its application just like you edit any other document.
For example, if you created a Microsoft Excel book sheet OLE object and executed the "Open" verb, then you will see the Microsoft Excel application executed with your OLE object within it (not unlike for the creation of a new book sheet file in Microsoft Excel).
These are only the two most common verbs; there are also many others. Any OLE object has its own verbs, depending on its functionality. You even can find an "Edit" or "Open" verb labeled with different names, for example, "Design" or something else.
For example, the "Quick Time Movie" OLE object (a video object) has the "Activate Movie Player" instead of the "Open" verb, and has no equivalent "Edit" verb but has an additional verb, "Playback", to play video located in an OLE object.
In Editor you can see all the available verbs for the selected container by pressing the dropdown section of the  button on the Controlling OLE toolbar. You'll see the dropdown menu with the list of available verbs. To run the verb you just need to select it from this menu.
To stop the execution of a selected verb, select Stop Verb from the Container menu, or press the  button on the Controlling OLE toolbar.
Two other commands are used to run most common verbs: first and second. Usually the first verb is "Edit" verb and the second verb is "Open". To run the first, select First Verb from the Container menu, or press the  button on the Controlling OLE toolbar. To run the second verb, select Second Verb from the Container menu, or press the  button on the Controlling OLE toolbar.
