Hi. I am using this script to randomise my IAT files to participants. May I know if it is possible to insert to fixed instruction page in between the 2 files? 

Example:

<batch>
/ selectionmode = random
/ file="bart.iqx"
(fixed instruction page here)
/ file="ospan.iqx"
</batch>

Thanks Dave. I  have created an instruction page using word document and saved in HTML format. After which i input in inquisit and saved as iqx version: 

<htmlpage Instruction_IAT>
/ file = "Instruction for computer task_IAT.htm"
</htmlpage>

However, it does not show when i tried to run. May i know how do I troubleshoot this?

Insruction pages are displayed via /pre. or /postinstructions of an <expt> orr <block>

Do you mean I need to include / file="scriptdisplayingyourinstructionpage.iqx" in the bart or ospan files?

No..

You need a script that displays your instruction page.

Just having



in an Iqx file does nothing. As I already explained, instruction pages are displayed via an <expt> or <block>'s /pre- or /postinstructions.

Hi Dave. I have applied created script below and inserted between the two files but it didn't seem to work. 

<instruct>
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 5%, true)
/ txcolor = white
/ windowsize = (90%, 90%)
/ screencolor = black
</instruct>

<page intro>

You've completed the first part of the tasks.

Press Spacebar to continue.

I have also tried this the html method by saving the instruction i created on word document as htm file. It did not work for me. 
<htmlpage Interval>
/ file = "Interval.htm"
</htmlpage>

May I know what else do I need to troubleshoot?
