There was a post that explained how to get your Quiz questiions and answers left aligned, but I think it is for pre-V1.5.3.
Can someone pointme to a method to do it for V1.5.3?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Certain 1.5 themes, such as Metal, build on the standard theme. This means that you can modify styles_layout.css in the standard folder. (Please check MoodleDocs Theme basics for further details.)

Hi Helen,
OK, I found the correct CSS file in the Standard Theme directory and copied the left-align code directly from the sample to the file under the Modules:Quiz section. After uploading the file to our server I checked out the results and for some reason the quiz answers are still right-aligned.

Hi Mike,
Please note that a forced refresh (Ctrl+F5) is required in order to see any changes, as browsers usually cache CSS files. Hopefully your quiz will then be displayed left-aligned.

Hi Helen,
I apologize for my lack of knwoledge about all the workings of IE etc., but the Ctrl-F5 did the trick...however,
1. True/False questions are now left-aligned.
2. MC questions are hit and miss. Some questions have the first answer line right at the end of the question and the succeeding answers inline directly below it. If the question is more than one line long, the answers are displayed left-aligned correctly.
I changed back to the original CSS file as this was not acceptable.
Perhaps you have seen this condition or have any more insight.
Thanks,
Mike
Hmm, please could you post a screen shot of a problem multiple choice question.
Hi Helen,
Here's a screenshot of the results after making the changes to the style_layout.css file of the Standard Theme. #'s 3 and 5 are the culprits in question. I was looking for the page to have the "Answer" line begin 2 lines below the question, as it is with the right-aligned scheme, but left-aligned.
Note also Answer C for # 5. Normally in the right-aligned scheme, the answers are not split into two lines, rather the longest answer determines how far to the right the first answer prints.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Mike,
A work around would be to edit the problem questions and press return at the end of the question to insert a couple of line breaks (

Hi Helen,
I was afraid of that, as we have many questions that are randomly selected for each test and we constantly update them. As much as I like Moodle, I didn't think that a fix would have been that involved just to place the text lines to the left instead of the right. We'll just live with the right-aligned layout until an easier fix is developed.
Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate your time and keep up the good work in helping others.

Hi Mike,
One last attempt...
Please try adding the following to styles_layout.css:
.mod-quiz .generalboxcontent table {
margin-top: 5px;
}
(Don't forget the forced refresh 
)
Finally, you may wish to vote for this issue to be properly resolved in the bug tracker - it's bug 4162. Simply create an account with your email address.
Hi Helen,
I added your addtional code to the original fix, but the problem is still there. It just dropped the first answer line down by about 1/2 line.
Do you know of anyone who has attempted this fix using only the code we have been using and it worked?
Thanks again,
Mike
PS... I will enter a bug report on it as you suggested.
Hi Mile
If not already fixed, might be worth giving the workaround in this post a try.
Has worked for us!
