Text alignment controls where question text appears on the page relative to the answer checkboxes. Adjusting alignment can improve readability and visual flow, especially for grid-style questions. PaperSurvey lets you set a default alignment for all grid questions and customize individual grid questions as needed.
Setting default text alignment
- Open the survey and click Settings next to its name.
- In Paper Survey, under Single/Multiple Choice Grid, find Text alignment.
- Switch it between:
- Left to align all question text to the left
- Right to align all question text to the right
- Click Save Changes in the bar at the bottom of the page.
Customizing grid questions individually
Single-choice and multiple-choice grid questions can be aligned individually, regardless of your default setting:
- Click on any single-choice or multiple-choice grid question
- Open More settings and find Align: under Display
- Choose Left or Right for that question
This flexibility allows you to optimize readability for different question types within the same survey.
Understanding alignment options
The alignment setting controls where question text appears on the page:
- Left alignment places questions on the left side of the page, with answer checkboxes to the right
- Right alignment places questions on the right side, positioned next to the answer checkboxes
Choose an alignment based on your design preferences and the visual flow you want respondents to follow through each question.
