The plugin doesn't support the export of equations back into Word at the moment.

We are using this plugin v3.9.4, and got issue when export question with equation to word file. The formulas in word file are in correct. How to fix this?
Eoin Campbell
Can you tell me the version of Moodle, Microsoft Word, and the plugin that you are using? Also, which particular question type is affected? I can't reproduce this problem with Multiple Choice or All-or-Nothing Multiple Choice questions.

Hi Eoin, when I export to "printout for review" I see in the downloaded file that it does not start the answers from "a." but has a full-stop for the first answer then it follows with "a. b. c. etc.". Example
. (0%) HPU
a. (100%) Energy Meter
b. (0%) VIP
c. (0%) VIP Water
d. (0%) Furnace Water

Can you try importing the file to www.moodle2word.net (and see if it works. You need to register for an account first. If it doesn't, send me the Word file you are trying to import (to help at moodle2word.net)

Is there any plans that this plugin works in moodle in the future?
Eoin Campbell
Yes it does. Minor Moodle releases don’t affect plug-in compatibility

Hi Eoin,
I have a question.
I'm thinking of updating my moodle version(3.11.5→3.11.6).
But does this plugin still work on moodle 3.11.6?
This plugin is really helpful. Thank you.
Eoin Campbell
Hi Adam, this plugin doesn't work well with Libre Office because it depends on using specific named styles in certain cells, and Libre Office files saved to docx format don't use those style names.

Hello Eoin!
I'm having problems with the multiple choice question.
After importing questions, there are no choices(like A.B.C....). It doesn't reflect to the quiz.
Not sure where I am going wrong so please help.
Thank you.
Adam Morrey
Will this work with libre office?

It is impossible to attach screenshots here. I have sent a mail to plugin's support.
