Printing essay answer

Ben is correct; I forgot that I sent it to email and printed the email, not the actual form. Sorry for the confusion, but here is a method that does work (really!):Create a variable called "PrintContents" (or something like that which is easy to recognize). In your course, create a page with a generic name like "Printing page". (You will be able to use this many times.) On the page put whatever headers, etc. that you want, then include a long, empty text box named "Response". On your Printing Page you will need three "on-show" actions:1 - Change contents of "response" text field to the new contents of the "PrintContents" variable.2 - Print current page3 - Exit title/close windowNow back on any question page, have your print button do two things "on-click":1 - Set the contents of the student's response to the "PrintContents" variable: Modify variable "PrintContents" new value = VAR(Question_0001)- whatever your question variable is.2 - Go to the Printing Page, open in new window.So what will happen:When the studnt clicks Print on any question, the value of their response is put in the PrintContents variable, the printing page is launched in a pop-up window, their answer is inserted into the Response text box, and the page is printed and closed.
