Often, both my questions and answers may include unix commands, screen shots, and other things that take up a lot of horizontal space. What I would like to have is a “vertical” layout that just shows the instruction/prompt (when you only have one question, I’m unclear why you would distinguish between these anyway), followed by the answer options, each taking up 100% of the page’s width. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The closest I’ve gotten to this is to set the Panel Width setting to “full”, and put the instruction and prompt text both in the Prompt box .
