I think one of the things that helps you see the errors better if you use preview as well as edit to proofread your work is the change of font. Different things spring to the eye. I know I sorely miss the chance to see my information there for a match quiz. I always feel a bit as if I haven't yet done a thorough proofread, even though I wrote in a word processor before copying to the template, and read it again in the edit screen.

The preview screen is still valuable, of course - it lets you see if an answer or question is significantly longer than the others in the play screen, and distorts the presentation unduly. Since they are much shorter than in a standard quiz, there is less chance of having missed a typo, but it's still worth looking at it.

Hi MiraJane, nice idea, I know about messaging system here on Forums. But there is no option on phone to copy and paste as it is done on desktop! Anyone knows how to copy paste efficiently on phone?

Efficiently? No. I can do it on my Android by holding my finger on a word until the word is highlighted, then drag the little blue pointers front and back until everything I want to copy is highlighted, then tap on copy. Then I go where I want to paste and hold my finger down on the screen until the copy/paste option pops up and tap on paste. But it's a major pain in the rear to do.

I don't know what the computer situation is like in India, but I bought a refurbished (fixed) computer about a year and a half ago for $40 (2,740 Rupees). I could probably get another one free just by asking around because most people are switching from computers to phones.

Hi HairyBear, earlier I used to use Samsung Galaxy J2 that has no option for copying and pasting efficiently.

Now I use Vivo Y53 which let me copy and paste everything very efficiently.

Thanks for telling!
