Choice question options cut-off requiring scrolling to view all options in MS Forms
- Feb 05, 2024Hi, thanks for the responses. Seems there isn't a solution but a hack or 2. We've gone with providing options as a scale with a key stating 1 is Strongly disagree, 3 neutral... etc Similar to HiroHiro1105 but just text. We didn't want to reduce the length of the questions.
NeeleshSon were you able to get this resolved? I am having the same issue but need to figure something out soon as I am about to submit my research proposal to IRB.
Thank you.

I have alreadly offered a possible solution on another thread. By shortening the texts of options and uploading an image file above the options, responders will be albe to see all choices without having to scroll horizontially.

HiroHiro1105 - your suggestion does not work for me (or others on this and similar threads)
This is a poorly implemented "new feature" as my old forms never used to do this.
A scale where people cannot see the whole scale produces biased results... - NeeleshSonFeb 05, 2024Copper ContributorHi, thanks for the responses. Seems there isn't a solution but a hack or 2.

NeeleshSon - yes, thought of that, but a numeric scale become much less useful (unworkable even) when you want to change the language used in the scale.
MS needs to revert back to whatever they were doing before - (scaling the text to fit?)
