I'm trying to present 20 short survey questions together on the screen (to stay as close to the paper version as possible), using radiobuttons, but because of the line spacing and the fact that the response options are listed below the caption, they don't fit on one page. Is there any way to change either of this?

Question 1: So, is there a way to skip the empty lines between the questions?
Question 2: Alternatively, is there a way to position the response options next to the questions so that it would look somewhat like this:

I currently feel ...        O very happy      O happy             O not happy
I currently feel            O option 1           O option 2          O option 3
etc.

This is what I have now:
<radiobuttons q2>
/caption = "1. I currently feel ..."
/ options = ("very happy",
"happy",
"not happy")
/optionvalues = ("3", "2", "1")
/other =
/required = true
/orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

<radiobuttons q1>
/caption = "1. I currently feel ..."
/ options = ("very sad",
"sad",
"not sad")
/optionvalues = ("1", "2", "3")
/other =
/required = true
/orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

etc., for 20 questions in total

<surveypage Page1>
/caption ="<%values.pageinstructions%>"
/subcaption = "<%values.quitinstructions%>"
/fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/subcaptionfontstyle = ("Arial", 1.5%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/itemfontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/responsefontstyle = ("Arial", 1.5%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)
/ txcolor = (0, 0, 0)
/questions = [1 = q1, q2, q3, a4, a5, a6, a7, q8, q9, q10, q11, q12, q13, q14, q15, q16, q17, q18, q19, q20]
/showpagenumbers = false
/showquestionnumbers = false
/nextbuttonposition = (85%, 90%)
/backbuttonposition = (75%, 90%)
</surveypage>

Thanks for any suggestions!
