Microsoft Word File Import/Export (Question Format)

Try importing the Word file into http://www.moodle2word.net/ and see if the issue also arises there.

Hi Eoin,
I have been using the plugin for few years now and it worked very well. Recently though, the equations written in equation editor are not being rendered properly. I am facing the same issue that James Mackay mentioned above i.e. "x^2" is now displaying as "x2". I verified that MathJAX is installed and enabled; and has "
Is there anything you can think of that I am missing? I am using MS Word 2016 latest version and 3.5.21 version of your plugin. I have Moodle 2.9.2.
Thanks,
Priyanka

Hi Eoin,
It worked! Many thanks for the response. That certainly saved us a fair bit of grief.
Cheers

It sounds like a MathJax filter configuration problem (cf. https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/MathJax_filter). Moodle2Word converts equations into MathML, so you need to set the filter to recognise '<math' as a delimiter. I'm not sure did WIRIS use LaTeX, but if it did, then you also need to keep the LaTeX delimiter ($, I think), so that older pages also display properly.

Hi Eoin,
Thanks for your work with this great plugin.
We've unfortunately recently encountered an issue. We used to have WIRIS installed before using Moodle2Word, but ever since we were forced to remove the WIRIS plugin, the formulas in the questions now don't display on the page properly.
For example; "x^2" is now displaying as "x2".
Was there a method of ensuring the formulas displayed correctly on the page without having to use WIRIS?
Thanks for your help.

To create a paper quiz that students can do, you need to run a Word macro after the initial export into Word format. The macro is in the question Word template available for download at http://www.moodle2word.net/. Install it using the instructions at http://www.moodle2word.net/mod/page/view.php?id=16, and then run the command "Set/Unset Assessment View" to reformat the questions in a way that hides the answers.

Hi.
This plugin works to export a questionnaire in word format so that the student can do it?
How should I do it?
because I just installed it and it works but when exporting the questions it generates a word document with a lot of information that the students can not see.
Thank you

In this case, it is likely that there is some HTML markup in the body of a question that might not be well-formed XHTML, and therefore breaks the XSLT processing carried out to create the Word file (which is in XHTML format). , Export the question category you are working on into Question XML format instead, remove any CDATA sections, and test it on this online XML validator: https://www.xmlvalidation.com/. See CDATA sections explainer here: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/xml/xml_cdata_sections.htm

negative, all other export formats work fine

This sounds more like a configuration problem. The file is exported to the moodledata folder, so if that isn't configured correctly, it would cause this error. Try exporting to an XML file too, to verify or rule out this possibility.

im running moodle 3.4.3 with worttable 3.5.21, and it does not seem to work any more - I get this error:
"Sorry, the requested file could not be found", when I try to download the export file

This error message is caused whenever you have an image embedded in your Word document that is not in a web-compatible format: GIF, JPEG, or PNG. It is most likely in EMF. You need to change it to a PNG, for example by screenshooting it and then replacing it with the screenshot version.

Hi Eoin,
When I import the file, I get this error: 'Can not create file "5/user/draft/460998637/Picture1.dataimage;base64
How to fix it?

First check that you can export the same question category as an XML file. If you can't, it may be because the category name contains characters not supported by the operating system as filename characters). If its OK, there may be something non-standard about where temporary Moodle files are stored in your configuration. Try importing the XML file to the test server www.moodle2word.net, and then exporting them to Word. If that works, it is definitely a configuration problem on your server.

Hello,
When I try to export the questions, the system shows that "Error, file not found".
I have XSLT installed and configured.
Any idea?
Best Regards.
