I install Moodle on my new website. While importing the file, I am getting following error:
The file you selected does not use UTF-8 character encoding. Microsoft Word 2010 table format (wordtable) files must use UTF-8.
although same file I was able to import on my another website. So kindly guide what settings I need to update on the server for this to work.
Yes you can. Export some questions from Moodle and you will see an extra row in the question table heading, with the label "ID Number:" in column 1 and a blank cell in column 2 to enter a question ID.
I haven't updated the Word template moodle2WordStartup.dotm (cf. http://www.moodle2word.net/mod/resource/view.php?id=47) to include this row, because of laziness and because most people won't use it. However, you can open the template file for editing using Word, and add in this row to each of the question type tables in the template, and then save it. Any time you create a new question from within the Word editing interface, the ID Number row will then be included.
Can we add Question ID also in the word file by inserting some column or row in the present format?
Hi Eoin,
Do you also run the Moodle2Word site? If so, do you have a more up to date set of templates and site? The Moodle instance over there is a 3.7, and I don't know how secure the site still is.
Dear Support,
We have been using your plugin and it is a great one.
We need your support on the following:
Whenever we import the attached file for an Arabic language exam, for some devices, it will show the characters as separated.
When we checked the HTML tags of the question by itself, we saw that whenever we import, the characters of one word or sentence are being placed in separate tag.
Kindly we need your prompt support.
Please note that i did send an email to: help@moodle2word.net
With all the required attachments.
Thank you.
Preferably Hebrew, but Arabic can work too. Thanks!
Yes, I have some right-to-left templates that work, e.g. Chiness. What language do you want?
Hello Eoin, I wanted to ask whether right-to-left word templates are also available to download for this plugin?
Thank you very much!
Hi radiyanto, Are you sure you selected a real Word file, and not a temporary lock file beginning with a ~ (tilde) character? This is an easy mistake. Another possibility is that you created the Word .docx using an application other than Microsoft Word (e.g. Google Docs). Send me the file and I can take a look.
help!!!
when I import a *.docx from [Microsoft Word 2010 table format (wordtable)],I cannot import the docx files, I receive this information: The file you selected is not in UFT-8 character encoding. Microsoft Word 2010 table format (wordtable) files must use UTF-8.
my version is: Moodle release (4.0)
Hi Eoin,
Is there any plans to translate the Moodle2Word Word template for portugues - Portugal?
Thanks in advance
You could try editing the chapter of the book directly inside the Moodle editing interface and getting the editor to save it. There is probably some faulty HTML that is causing a problem, and the editor sometimes will automatically clean it up when it is saving it. If that doesn't work, turn on direct HTML editing (in the Atto toolbar, expand to include all icons, then click the very last icon in the 2nd row). Copy the raw HTML to an online cleanup tool like htmltidy.net to get it cleaned up, then paste it back into the book chapter.
Dear Eoin, first of all thank You for this plugin which makes our life much easier! However I am stuck with an issue when trying to 'Export book to Microsoft Word'(Error message: 'XSLT transformation failed'). Going one step down to 'Export this Chapter to Microsoft Word' works for all but one Chapters of the same book. Trying to export this specific chapter of the book returns same error: 'XSLT transformation failed'. Please advise what else should I try? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like the formatting in the Word file may include a style name such as "Macro Comment" which is not converted. Send the Word file to me at help@moodle2word.net and I can take a look.
