Using images for answer labels

For a grid question (a ratings style of question), it may be preferable to have images; such as smiley faces instead of worded ratings such as very good through to very poor, or very satisfied through to very unsatisfied. Using smiley faces as ratings is a useful way of expressing grid ratings visually in questionnaires that are completed by children.

Step 5

Double click on the Clip Art folder and select the image required, e.g. Smile Very Good.bmp.

Step 6

When the image has been selected reduce the Zoom size to 20%. This is a good size to fit in to the space available in the Code Label. Then click OK.

Step 7

If it is decided the size of the image needs to be altered after it has been bought into the Code Label, simply double click on the image and change the Zoom size.

Step 8

Press TAB on the keyboard and repeat the process for the remaining ratings.

Step 10
