I need to format the ROWS of a matrix question (type array flexible). I want to change the size and force left alignment.

There are some partial solutions to my problem in:
docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...e_question_alignment
docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...ible_Labels_question
How to change the <font-size> tags using CSS


But no one of this works in my case.
After several hours hacking the code y have success doing this:

To align Left (I have not success in templates because there is hard code in quandas.php that overwrite template settings)--> solution:

(hacking the code of program) In Quanda.php. looking for function do_array_flexible (or other tipe of question you want to hack)
change align right with left in lines 3153, 3159, 3163, 3168.

To Change size (in templates, the class .array1 or 2 changes only the column headings. And the class answertext works only with other type of questions but not with matrix rows). -->Solution:
Via web access as admin of the survey, edit templates and change the class .question td from 10px to 12 (or the number you want).

Thanks for sharing your solution with us. Maybe you can add a few sentences to our online help to help users who have the same problem? Would be great. The manual is a wiki, everyone can edit it.

OK. I have write some lines in Workarounds (docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=Workarounds)

Probably it would be better to write in the section templates or in Creating Surveys adding a new heading (formating surveys). But I'm not sure if you prefer mantain all the new things in "workarounds".

Thanks for your support!

Hi,

I solved the problem of alignment in flexible array matrix type question by changing a term in the css template. Went to question screen and selected template CSS. There i deleted the word "right" from answertext.

It was

.answertextright {
text-align:left;
}

I deleted "right" so that it became

.answertext {
text-align:left;
}

It worked for me

Feel free to add this to the workarounds if this doesn't already exist.
