Instructions on Using this Document

Copy and PastingThis test-bank file is set up as a series of tables so a question and its associated figure will stay together when copied and pasted into the instructor’s test document. Most questions with a figure are a two-column table, with the question in the left cell and the figure in the right cell. To copy and paste these into your document, hover the mouse anywhere over the table until the table selection square appears over the upper left corner of the table. Clicking on the square selects the

entire table. Copy it and paste it into your document. Or left click anywhere in the table and hold-drag the mouse until you are outside of the table and the entire table becomes highlighted. Multiple questions can be selected at the same type by the normal ways of selecting multiple lines of text.

When pasting the table into an existing document, make sure there is are normal lines of text on either side, because Word will merge the pasted table with any table to which it is directly adjacent.

Numbering and Ordering of Test ItemsQuestions are arranged in order of the number of the two-page spread (Section number) where the information in the textbook is located. For questions that involve aspects from more than one spread, the question is placed in the most appropriate section.

The questions are outlined numbered in Word so they renumber themselves when the order of questions is changed. The choice items under each question also renumber themselves when an instructor changes their order, as in making different versions for student study guides versus the actual test. The numbering will remain consistent if a question or choice is deleted or inserted.

Appearance of Test ItemsThe questions, choices, and section heading are each a separate style in Word. The question is a style named Test Question, the choices are a style named Choices, and the section heading is a style named Spread Number. These allow the instructor to change the font, font size, indents, or style of numbering for all questions and choices just by modifying the corresponding styles.

Adding and Deleting Test QuestionsThe end of the document contains blank two-column tables, into which an instructor can type or paste their own test questions. When inserting new questions into a blank table, type or paste the question into the left cell. If there is a figure, paste it into the right cell. If there is no associated figure, merge the cells so the question stretches across the entire width of the page. There must be a blank non-table line between each question or else Word merges the two tables, which can be separated but it involves several steps.

If the figure is large, part of it will extend to the right off the page. Simply click and drag one of the visible handles on the left side of the image and drag it to the right; the figure will resize to a smaller size and remain left justified when you release the mouse. Continue doing this as necessary. If the figure is required to be very large on the page, add a row to the bottom of the table and insert the figure into that page-width cell.

Since the questions are in a table, simple highlighting and hitting the delete key will deleted the contents of the table but not the table itself. To do this, highlight the entire table and the line before or after it and then hit the delete key or highlight the table and choose Edit, Cut.

To add a new choice to an existing question, it is easiest to add it in the middle of the list of choices or to make sure some text is present in the last choice. If the last choice is empty and you hit a return, Word removes the lettering for both lines.
