Importing questions from a Word document

This feature is supported on SMART Response software for Windows computers only.
When you import questions from a Microsoft Word document, SMART Response software's
conversion utility uses a variety of techniques to identify which paragraphs are questions, which
paragraphs are possible answers and what type of question to create from the given information. Its
most basic technique is to interpret the numbering of the paragraphs. The software also searches for
key words when parsing the paragraphs. The software then converts the paragraphs into SMART
Notebook assessment pages. See Example Word document question formats on the next page for
more information.
