Microsoft Word File Import/Export (Question Format)

HI Eoin
Thanks for your reply. It's using the standard Multiple Choice question type here, with no additional plugins involved.
Your suggestion prompted me to check exporting in XML and GIFT and these formats are also in error:
- XML - multi-response questions do not export at all as per what we're seeing with wordtable
- GIFT - multi-response questions export without answers and feedback e.g.
// question: 338399 name: MR01This is the text of question MR01
// question: 338400 name: MR02This is the texct of MR02
It looks like this is actually a core Moodle issue, perhaps with our old version. We'll investigate this.
Totara version is 3.1.4, plugin version is 3.6 (Build: 2019071601).
I'll raise the second point as you suggest.
Re. the limit on answers, we have added extra table rows, they simply don't populate on import. This may be related to the first issue so we'll look at these together.
Thanks again for for your help
Regards
Jon

Regarding 1, it is probable that you are talking about the contributed plugin "OU Multiple Response" question type (cf. https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_oumultiresponse), which is not supported.

1. Export of standard Multiple-Choice questions with the "One or multiple answers?" field set to "Multiple answers allowed" is working fine, as far as I can tell. Export an example question exhibiting this behaviour to XML format and send it on to me for testing. Let me know what version of Moodle and the plugin you are using.
2. I suggest you add the request to the issue tracker at https://github.com/ecampbell/moodle-qformat_wordtable/issues.
3. There is no limit in the Word table, but you have to manually add extra table rows for more answer options. The default is 4, with 2 set to grade 50, and 2 to -50, I think, but that's just for convenience.

Hi Eoin
We're having a couple of issues with the import-export, I hope you can help.
1. In a pre-existing category of 100 questions (multi-choice (single) and multi-response questions) only the multi-choice (Single) questions are exported into the file. The grades for these are set to A=50%, B=-100%, C=50%, D=-100%, E=-100%
If we create the multi-response questions via the import then they export ok.
2. The export is adding feedback for correct/incorrect responses on export (Your answer is correct / Your answer is incorrect). This is blank in the question on the site and isn't required as a default - can it be changed/removed?
3. There appears to be a max limit of 4 answers to uploading a multi-response question. Is there a limit built in?
Many thanks
Jon

Для экспорта тестов из Word в Moodle использую бесплатную программу Ассистент. Реально помогает! Тесты переносятся автоматически с картинками, минимум преобразований. Формат GIFT. Болеее подробная информация здесь https://vk.com/topic-174955675_39589469

The normal reason for this problem is that one of the questions contains badly-formatted XHTML, which breaks the export operation. To fix it, export the same question category as XML and inspect it for problems if you understand XHTML. Otherwise split the category into smaller chunks and keep exporting and dividing until you identify the question(s) causing the problems. When you find them, open and save each one in the Atto editor, which does a certain amount of cleaning up on save to remove bad formatting. If that doesn't fix it, send me the questions causing the problem and I'll take a look. The main reason this arises is because lecturers copy text from Word and paste it into the Moodle question, and this often includes bad markup. The questions are probably very old, and were never edited in Atto.

We use Moodle 3.9.1 with this latest plugin version, Release 3.6.3, but unable to export questions.
The error message:
error/XSLT transformation failed ([dirroot]/question/format/wordtable/mqxml2wordpass1.xsl)
XSLT is enabled on Moodle.
Anyone know how to fix it?

I have resolved the issue Eoin, a H5P element was causing an interruption in the export. After that, the plugin did not export anymore questions.

By the way, I am happy to compensate you for your time if this takes more time to solve. We could do a screenshare on Skype for example.

Thank you for your quick reply. Sure, I understand it handles question categories. I did select all the questions and the root category of the course. Our quizzes have many different questiontypes, such as multiple choice, drag and drop, etc. like the ones you have in the template. I anticipate not all the question being exported, because that questiontype might not be supported, but most should work. Any other ideas?

The plugin doesn't handle quizzes, just question categories. When exporting, you must select a category, so perhaps you didn't select the root category for the course, and therefore only exported a subset of the question bank. Another reason may be that your categories contain question types that are not supported, such as Calculated questions. These won't be exported at all.

Thank you for creating this plugin!
When I export the word format, only the descriptions from the first quiz in my questionpool are exported, not the questions and not the descriptions and questions of the other 7 quizzes. Do you have any idea what causes this and how to solve it?

Unfortunately not at the moment.

Is it possible to update numeric questions in word format?

There may be a language compatibility issue here. If you are using the Portuguese version of the Word template, then the true and false labels must be in Portuguese also, i.e. "Verdadeiro" and "Falso", not "True" and "False".
