Hello. First of all im not a good at wirting in english, i can understand a lot but when it comes to wirting its just a dssaster, So please, forgive me :) 
I wanna to replicate  psychological experiment and i got inquisit scripts, but i want to improve them. Because subjects are 60-75 year old pelope and most of them never used PC. So i want to make things easer to them so what i need:
- Change input device from mouse to keyboard  but when they press 1/2/3/4 they should see next scereen without accept answer by pressing enter how to do that
- i need to make this 1/ 4 answers box bigger i figure it out its "likert skale" but when i increase fontstyle it not increase this box, just make words that interpretate what this scale menas bigger. 
So what i should do, except for english lessons :)

You cannot do this with <likert> elements. You need to set up standard <trial> elements instead which accept the digits 1 to 4 as valid responses. In this scenario, your "answer" boxes are just standard <text> and/or <picture> elements you display via the <trial> element's /stimulusframes or -times attribute, which makes your 2nd question obsolete. In addition, you need to do some additional work to map the keyboard scancodes to the actual scale values. See e.g. https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost14570.aspx for an example.

You need to replace the <likert> elements in your script with <trial> elements set up in the way illustrated in the example.
