- Copying Quiz slides between projects causes Fatal Error
We have always created a standard set of quiz questions with our ‘standard’ background/formatting. We’ve been able to copy/paste these slides from project to project. I recently updated our backgrounds/style standards. For some reason we can no longer copy/paste any quiz question from one project to another, it causes a Fatal Error and shuts down Captivate. Any idea why? We are still running 11.5.5.
