5. If there is an extra blank line where the deleted question used to be, delete it.

7. Press Ctrl+S to save the test.

Notes:

• If the questions you want to delete are sequential, select all of them in step 3. To delete multiple questions that are not sequential, repeat the entire procedure as needed.

• Because the questions are in a table, they stay lined up automatically.

• If at any time you don’t get the result you expect, press Alt+E+U, select Edit > Undo (Word 2003), or click Undo  on the Word toolbar.

• When you print your MyTest, the gridlines do not appear in the printed version.
