Can you Loop & Merge long, formatted blocks of text?

Hi all. I need to present my participants with a large number of long blocks of formatted text to read. They will answer a specific set of questions after reading each text, so I would like to use Loop & Merge instead of creating distinct blocks for each text. Is there a way to feed rich text into Loop & Merge? Perhaps through a spreadsheet of stimuli?

You can add text with html tags to your loop and merge fields. You can create the fields in Excel and copy/paste them into the loop and merge setup all at once. Go to row 1, field 1 and paste.

    Thanks very much for the information. Seems to work great. You cannot have any returns within the loop & merge field, correct? (Or at least I don't seem to be able to copy/paste them.

    Correct, but you don't need any as they don't provide any html functionality. Use


    for line breaks.
