Adobe Captivate 3 Question: Can I Score Multiple Quiz Questions on One Question Slide?

I am trying to put 5 questions and 5 (drop-down) answers in a Fill-in-the-blank slide. But if I make an error (select one of wrong answers), the score for all the 5 answers will be scored as 0. It seems that one slide is considered to be one question. Is there any way to assign an individual ID or objective ID to each question so it is handled as an individual object.

 
Answer:
 
As far as I know, you cannot do what you are trying to do on a Question slide because each question is an all or nothing proposition. However, you can assign different point values to the questions, making these kinds of questions more valuable than others. Alternatively, you could create a slide with a text entry area, enable reporting for the object, and accomplish much of what you are trying to do. In that case, the slide would not technically be a question slide, but if you enable reporting, the object would be included as part of the quiz.  
 
Adobe Captivate 3 Question:  How Many Characters will Fit in a Text Animation?
 
Can you tell me if a Captivate Text Animation has a maximum character allowance? I am trying to use 60 characters in one barcode animation.
 
Answer:
 
I have never tried to reach the upper-limit for characters in a text animation. However, 60 characters will not be a problem (I just tested that and it worked fine). Keep in mind that you'll have to lower your font size so that the text fits on your slide, and you will need to break the text into multiple lines by pressing [shift] [enter] at the end of each line (otherwise the text will simply be cut off on the right of the slide). And you'll need to extend your timeline to accommodate the text animation (if it's not long enough, your text animation will not have time to play).
 
Adobe Captivate 3 Question: How Do I Get the Results of Text Entry Box Sent via Email?
 
I want to include the user name within a quiz score. I've created a text entry box for the user to type in his/her name at the start of the quiz. How do I get the quiz results to include user name in my email results?
 
Answer:
 
You would set up your quiz preferences to include the user interaction.
