Import Quiz questions guide

Moodle2Word is a plugin for Quiz that allows question banks to be exported from Moodle into a Word file. The Word file can then be used to quickly review large numbers of questions or to prepare paper tests (where the answers and feedback is hidden). Updated questions in the Word table format can also be imported back into Moodle (in .docx format). We recommend that this plugin is used to fix questions in large question banks. The question, correct option, distractors and feedback can be updated on a word document and then imported into Moodle.

1. All the main question types except Numerical and Calculated questions are supported. Numerical and Calculated questions are exported, but cannot be imported. 
2. When exported questions contain images, the images are initially stored in the Word file as tabular data. After opening the Word file, you must run a custom Word macro to convert them back into images in the correct locations.
3. You need to install a Word template (opens in new tab) on your PC to access this macro. [Select Login as a guest on the Moodle site that opens in new window to access the word template]
