Introduction: Question and Answer Summaries

Some projects may require a printout of the information in the template. A Question Summary lists each question followed by a blank space so an answer can be written in, as if being filled out like a questionnaire. An Answer Summary lists each question and the associated answer. These printouts can be concise records of exactly what information was used when the document was assembled.

The following is an example of an Answer Summary:

You can specify a one-column or two-column format for your summaries. In one-column format, dialogs, questions, and answers are displayed as an indented outline. In two-column format, the information is presented as a table, with each answer appearing on the same row as its question. (See Change the Way Question and Answer Summaries Appear.)

If you're assembling a form document, you can create a questionnaire by printing a blank copy of the form itself.
