1. There are three ways to open the Visual Editor to begin editing the content of a problem:

   • Select a problem from the Document Tree and choose Edit > Selected Problem.

     

   • Right-click on the problem in the Document Tree and choose Edit from the shortcut menu.

     
   • Select a problem from the Document Tree and use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+E
   In rare cases, the Advanced Editor may appear when you attempt to edit a problem, even though Basic View is selected. This can be caused by the presence of legacy TeX code from older versions of Acces, or by invalid TeX code entered by the user. In these cases, use the Advanced Editor to edit the problem.

2. Once you have the Visual Editor open, you may add, delete, or change the text of the problem and/or answers just as you would in a word processor.

   For example, maybe you want to change the numbers in a math problem to create a different problem that assesses the same skill. Simply place the cursor where you want to make the change and begin typing.

   You can also use the toolbar to add formatting to your text such as bold, underline, and italicize. For more information about formatting options, refer to the article Changing the Format of Text Using the Visual Editor (Bold, Underlined, Italicized, etc.)

After changing the problem, don't forget to mark the correct answer (if it changed as a result of your edit) by right-clicking on the answer and choosing Mark Correct Answer.
