Many clients appreciate the rich text editor feature in Qualtrics. They can edit the text (bold, add color, etc.) to any question throughout their survey. Because of this feature, clients have asked if they can edit answer choices (underline, highlight, etc.) without a rich text editor designed specifically for the answer choices.

Although the answer choices do not have a rich text editor feature, there is a straightforward way to edit the answer choices. You can insert HTML code into your answer choice to edit them. If you are not familiar with HTML code, Qualtrics provides an easy way to find it.

Click on the question and then the rich text editor tab. Now, type in what you want for your answer choice and apply the necessary editing by making it bold, italicized, etc. Then, click on "source" within the rich text editor tab. This will allow you see what it looks like in HTML code. Copy and paste the HTML code (only the code that corresponds to your answer choice) to your answer choice. You can paste this into your answer choice, simply by clicking on your answer choice and pasting the code. Be sure to delete the code from your question box.

In summary, you can use the rich text editor that is usually used for the question, to figure out the code you want for your answer choice. Keep in mind you can do this repeatedly for each answer choice. Not only will you have the text features you want in your answer choices, but you have mastered a basic process of HTML code.
