As always, looking good and thanks for all the work put in to this, but had to manual edit the xml to add back the option to [TABLE=class: NormalTable]

[TR]

[TD]DisableSplitScreenAllSizes [/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

Version 2.3.9.0

Hi,

 

What do you mean exactly, the option wasnt in the sample config with 2.3.9.0?

[rheibel]

yes DisableSplitScreenAllSizes was not in the sample ExamWritePad.exe.config for 2.3.9.0 https://drive.google.com/open?id=10lELm7C9W5Z1DPViXXWzwg1rYWX4iWQT

 

not the end of the world, as i knew it could be turned off, but wanted it documented in case anyone else setting up exam laptops for the mocks on the 27th was wondering where the option to disable split screen had gone.

Ok thanks I will add it back in to the example

Hi,

 

We've been using this great bit of software for a while now, but we have just had a student complain about having lost marks in her mocks because she was unable to type in superscript (I'm actually assuming this is more of a concern that has been raised and are actually more worried about losing marks in the real exam). I'm not sure how much of an undertaking this would be for you, but we would be eternally grateful (and would donate again) if superscript could be added as a feature.

 

Regards,

Hi,

 

We have a user who has tried to align some of his work to the right (for the address lines etc of a letter) and it seems to work on the actual WritePad itself, but when printing the formatting doesn't stick, and it all moves back to the left. Any ideas?

 

Thanks a lot, loving the software. It has saved my bacon a lot of times so far!

Is there any way not to run in full screen, it would be nice to be able to flick between programs for those students using a screen reader i don't think split screen offers enough flexibility, thanks all looks great other wise.

 

Cheers

The split screen was done for this very reason as it works well with common screen readers given a big enough screen resolution and physical screen.

 

The only other option would to use the config option Disable TopMost and should allow alt+tab switching

This would be nice. We currently have one student that listens to a CD for their listening exam but also word processes. I've given her the option to minimise ExamWritePad but would be a little easier to select different programs from the task bar.

Top allow visibility mean to a big rewrite in terms of graphics placement to essentially bring it back into windowed mode.

 

I never say never so I will take a look at the feasibility.

[AdamWeston]

Thanks, that might work in conjunction with Split screen, on another note is there a way to change default save location away from the desktop.

Use the config option DefaultSavePath. If you take a look within the documentation folder all the config options are there with full descriptions and values [emoji1]

OK last question today honest, however this one is from the exam officer, she loves the cover sheet and was wondering if you were going to have an option to also include the "scribe cover sheet - form 2" for those pupils who use one.

 

Thanks for all your speedy responses today,

It was thought about but the printing of the cover sheets was a real pain so I dropped it.

See attached image, I cant get it to fail if you use the 'Paragraph' --> 'Align' --> 'Right' option
