What are you trying to achieve?:
Here I tried to modify a demo from this link demos / self_paced_reading · GitLab

What did you try to make it work?:

I do have 80 sentences, and I categorized them into 20 files,
for example here, I modified “spreadsheet” from the original to “spreadsheet1”
so I edited the excel file accordingly, and it would not show my sentences after that.

Here is what my experiment look like:

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Everything works; it is just that I cannot see my items in the experiment.
Each of my items has 7 words, and when I load my experiment, even though I can’t see it, (it shows this

instead), after I press 7 times on the space bar, it moves on to the next part of the experiment.

Your text variable is also being used as the name of a text component.

Thank you so much! It worked!

May I also ask if there is any way to modify the text on my spreadsheet and let it show on my experiment as an item? e.g. I add bolding for the first half of the word “Apple” on the spreadsheet. How can I let it also show in my experiment?
