Sharepoint 2010 Customize Survey Form

The default Sharepoint Survey template sometimes can be anoyying,
1. You cant add plain Text on it. So if you want to add some introduction or summary, or some additional reference information. It will be really struggling
2. The question and answer are in fixed format, you cant insert a picture or anything cusmoized on it.
Spent couple days on this, Searched alot website and finally got it works on my website. Suprisely it is fairly easy.
Solution:
1. On sharepoint designer 2010, go to the Lists and Libraries on left panel, Find the survey you are looking for. Open it.
2. Click New at the Forms Panel on the right side, type in the <New Form Name>, check "set as default form for the selected type", check "create link in list Item Menu and Ribbon", also type in the "link and Command Name", I.E. <New Survey>. Click OK.
3. Now click on the new form you just created to open it. It may take a bit time. Make sure you select split view under view. Make it easier for you to edit it.
4. By default, the new form is using Cutomized Form View, so we can easily create another table between "cancel" button and <question 1>, and start customizing the table here. You can insert pictures if you want and add any personal css code into the table.
5. To move the answers you just need find the current answers, remember select both lines of the code. I.E.






 Cut them and paste it into wherever you want the answer listed.
Save it.
Now when people click on Respond to this survey, they will see the form you just created other than the default one, Cheers!
