ExamView Test Generator 189
An indent or tab cannot be set to 0 (zero).
If you paste text from another application, ExamView Test Generator may use the indent and tab positions from the source
copy. If you try to adjust a tab or an indent using the ruler command, you may not be able to set it to the exact position desired
since ExamView Test Generator allows you to move tabs/indents in 1/8-inch increments only. If this occurs, use the Tabs
and/or Paragraph options to make the necessary adjustments. Using these options, you can change the tab/indent settings in
1/16-inch increments.
A picture does not look good on the screen—the colors are not correct.
Pictures come in many different formats—black and white, 16-colors, 256-colors, and millions of colors. If your monitor is set
to display images in 256-colors and you insert a picture with millions of colors, the program may not be able to show the image
correctly. For best results and the smallest file sizes, you should use 256-colors images or black and white pictures. If you
double-click a picture, the window will show you the format and memory size.
ExamView Test Player
Multimedia objects (movies, animations, or audio) do not play.
ExamView Test Generator does not store the multimedia objects as part of the test file. You must copy these objects to the
same folder as the online test or let your students know where they can find these items (e.g., CD-ROM or DVD drive).
Internet Testing
When you open a test using a browser, the pictures do not appear.
When you post a test to a server, you must copy the HTM file along with all of the
other files in the accompanying file folder (e.g., chapter1.htm and chapter1_files)
to your web server. Do not combine the HTM file and its folder in one location.
See the sample server folder structure below. All of these files must be in the
same relative path on the server as the HTM file. Also, make sure that you did not
change the case of the file names for the JPG and GIF files. By default, the
test/study guide is looking for these files as lowercase file names. For some
operating systems this is not important, but for others it can cause problems.
Make sure that your students did not turn off images in the browser. You must
have this feature enabled to properly view an internet test generated by
ExamView Test Generator.
The browser displays an error when a student submits their results for an Internet test.
A student must have an active connection to the internet to submit the test results. The browser requires an active connection
for the browser to e-mail you the student's results.
The test or study guide is not formatted properly in the browser window.
Students must use a browser with support for cascading style sheets level 1 (CSS1) and JavaScript. However, if you create a
question with special formatting (e.g, numerous tab stops, indents, etc.) the browser may not be capable of showing some of
these more complicated layouts. For example, you should use a table instead of tabs since CSS1 does not support tab
positioning.
