Q: “I am working with Senteo 2.0 and I want to add pictures and graphics to my page to make my quizzes more appealing. Can I do that?”
A: Yes, however, there is something you will need to know. In Senteo 1.0, you were able to add pictures and graphics at any time in your build. Senteo 2.0 is a little different. You will have to add your question to the page first, and then add your picture. Otherwise when you add the picture, a new page will be added to the end of your file.

I have loaded the Senteo 2.0 software (not Response) and I cannot get it to show the tab in Notebook. Any suggestions?
