Procedure

1. Change the settings as required.

2. Press the prepare new set button

3. Four buttons will be displayed:

prepare

new set		 preview

questions		 preview

answers		 create

sheets

Button 1: prepare new set
A new set of questions is prepared for either a single sheet or a series of sheets. (You can also use this button to cancel the current single sheet or series.)

Button 2: preview questions
The set of questions is displayed. If you have selected the series option, the values displayed will not be the ones actually used on the sheets.

Button 3: preview answers
The set of answers is displayed. If you have selected the series option, the values displayed will not be the ones actually used on the sheets.

Button 4: create sheets
A window will open displaying the set of questions (or the first sheet if you have opted for a series).
You can either print the sheet from this window or save it to disc.
As the printing method varies from browser to browser, you will need to find out how to do this yourself.
Pressing button 4 a second time will display the set of answers.
(You do not need to close the window until the end of the session.)

Printing a series of sheets
When you have printed (or saved) the first question and answer sheets, press button 4 again to display the second question sheet. Continue until all the sheets in the series have been processed.
You can cancel a series at any time by changing any of the settings and/or pressing button 1 again.

Note: Changing any of the settings removes the current set (or series) of questions. So, after changing settings, you must press button 1.
