Format Word Documents
To create a Word document to be imported by the TurningPoint Parser, you must create an outline using
the heading styles built into Word. You can apply the heading styles using the drop-down menu in the
Formatting Toolbar, or in the Styles and Formatting pane available through the Format menu.
Each question must use the “Heading 1” style. The question is followed by several answers on separate
lines using the “Heading 2” style.
In addition to the question and answer text, you can use optional TurningPoint tags to control other
settings. Each TurningPoint tag must use the “Heading 3” style. Tags occur at the start of the outline (for
tags that apply to the entire presentation) or on the lines immediately following a question or answer (for
tags that apply only to a specific question or answer). A tag is formatted in the following way:
<tag>value
All tags are optional. If omitted, the slide will default to a standard question slide.
The tags are described in the following table.
Attribute Description
alias An optional attribute that contains an alias for the question.
value An optional attribute that contains a value for the answer. Valid answer values
are “Correct,” “Incorrect,” or a point value from negative 10,000 through
10,000.
filename An optional attribute that contains a filename for a picture that can be used in
place of the answer text on the slide. This attribute is used only if the slide
type attribute is set to “P”.
Tag Location Description and Allowed Values
<c> Start of outline. The number of slides in the presentation.
<d> Start of outline or
following a
question. Contains the Session ID (if at the start of the outline) or topic ID (if
