SharePoint survey and line spacing

If you have ever made a SharePoint survey with a Rating Scale you may have run into an issue where your questions so to speak 'flow together'.

The reason is that SharePoint doesn't add any padding to the top and / or bottom of your questions. This make them rather difficult to separate as you can see in the below example even if it's in Danish:).

There are no out of the box setting to add 'spacing' between the questions and the most common solution found on the Internet has to do with adding a script to the page that will manipulate the questions or add some styling to the table behind the questions. It's doable, but not practical.

But if you can live with a minor imperfection, here are a quick workaround:

Add one space and twenty to twenty-five underscores to the end of each option or sub-question.

This will force the dialog to insert a line break and thereby make your question more readable.



Only drawback is that the underscores will show also in Graphical Summary

That's it :)
