Dialogue/Conversation confusion

So there are times when I want a dialogue to go as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------
This is a question, what is your answer?

-This is answer 1
-This is answer 2
-This is answer 3

----------------------------------------------------------

So far, I am able to bring onscreen text with the dialouge:play speech. I am also able to create the answers with dialogue: start conversation. What I haven't figured out, is how to do both at once. Is this possible? I kind of wish they were a little more integrated and could use only one Unity UI Canvas. I may just be very dense and am completely missing the obvious, but I've read the documentation numerous times.

    Try playing some speech in the background just before bringing up the conversation.  You can set a speech line to "Play in background" in the Action - this should cause both to display at the same time.

    Perfect thanks! I actually just discovered that. However, in process of changing my dialogue: play speech from having a speaker to NOT having a speaker, I came across a possible bug. If I add a speaker through the inspector, I'm unable to remove/delete it so I can use it for narration. I have to create a new action in the editor and copy-paste my text. I haven't tried it in the action list editor yet though. 

    Using the latest version of AC.
