Use a Page Layout when you want one or more survey pages to display questions in a particular way. Page layouts can be applied to pages (go to Survey Objects for more information). In the properties of a Theme you can set a page to display questions in columns or rows. Page Layouts are used to customize pages even further, for example if you want to place one question centered across the top and then another two questions next to each other beneath the top centered one (or any other “special look”). For relatively simple surveys there is no need to use Page Layouts as Themes and Questions Skins will suffice.
To edit a Page Layout, double-click on its name in the Layout and Styles toolbox, or right-click and choose Edit. The page editor opens - .

Among the Visual Components available for Page Layouts is one called “Question”. This element functions as a place-holder for a question, enabling Authoring users to place questions anywhere on a page and show as many questions as desired on that page. The Page Layout can then for example be activated on a Page object which holds the required number of questions. If there are not enough questions on a page to fill all the question place holders, then the extra place holders will be ignored.
