Microsoft Word File Import/Export (Question Format)

I need to see the exact equation causing the problem to try and figure this out. It's possible the problem is with a particular symbol rather than the equation. The error message is also important as it helps identify if the problem is with the conversion of Word's OfficeMathML into public MathML, or if a non-Unicode character fails to get written to the Moodle MySQL database.

We got issue when importing question with equation. The import will fail if the equation include Operator.
How to fix this?

Can you email a Word file exhibiting this behaviour to help@moodle2word.net, and I'll take a look. A screenshot of what you think is incorrect presentation would also be useful.

Hi, I'm having problems with the multiple choice question for the 3.9 version, it adds a new line after the letters. This doesn't happen in the 3.63 version.

Hi Jamie, at present this is not possible without editing the code. It's a nice idea though. One alternative is to post-process the Word file to remove data you don't need. The Moodle2Word Word template (cf. http://www.moodle2word.net/mod/resource/view.php?id=47) already does this in order to create a printable version of the questions, using the command "Set/Unset Assessment View". You could try this out

Hi Eoin! Is there a way to edit which fields export? We have a client that just wants to see the question, answer choices, correct answer and feedback.

Thanks Eoin!

Hi Eric, you are correct. The 3.6.x series is a stand-alone plugin with no dependencies, and I strongly recommend you upgrade to 3.6.4. The 3.9.x series is a major refactoring of the code which requires the booktool_wordimport plugin, and will change some more over the next few weeks, so better to ignore it for the moment.

Hi so to confirm, Our installed version version is: 3.6.3 (Build: 2020071101) does not have any dependancy on additional tools . Should I want to update to this version - 3.9.1 I need to install booktool_wordimport and this one to make it work?
Please confirm.
Eric

Hi Eric, The latest version of this plugin now uses most of the code from the Book Word import plugin, to minimise code duplication. The 3.9.0 version unfortunately had an out-of-date dependency on the Book tool, so I have released v3.9.1 to correct this problem. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hello, I just trued upgrading from 3.6.3 to current version adn was not able to upgrade with a dependancy error. When I looked at the version.php I noticed a dependancy for
$plugin->dependencies = array('booktool_wordimport' => 2021081300);
When was that added? I assume I should be adding this plugin before upgrade. Was that a mistake or correct?
Thanks
Eric

You can import equations formatted using the Microsoft Equation Editor (not the old Equation 3.0 editor). You must configure the MathJax filter on Moodle correctly, see https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=346244#p1463522. You cannot export MathML equations back into Word at the moment.

Hi Eoin....I wrote an email...did a top on that....then tried to get in touch here....but am getting no response....anything that I am missing here....Do I need to be of some country or some ethnicity or is it a paid platform....Just let me know...What I need to just get an answer from you....

Dear Eoin, I have also written an email in this regard to you....I need help in setting this up correctly....I am almost done....it seems that I am just stuck with something simple...I need to import Maths Equations Questions which I am not able to import or export...plz help....

Re: when I import a question with some simple expression like N_2 using the MS Equation Editor, it appears simple as "N2" without the subscript. However, when I edit the question, the editor will render it correctly, and after saving, the expression is displayed correctly. It's, however, troublesome to have to do this for a large import. Any idea?
This may be due to a browser caching problem, or a Moodle MathJax filter configuration problem. Send me a sample and I can take a look.
