Send me 5 or so of your Word documents (attached to an email reply) so that we can take a look at your Word files. Joe >>> Jane Batterson 09/26/06 3:02 pm >>> Meredith, I believe what I did was to create the document in Word, but I saved it as an HTML document so that's the only one I have. Joe told me I should be uploading only HTML documents so that all of the students can open them. Also, when I try to upload a Word document, NOTHING shows up in the window. I must admit I'm a bit frustrated. The students told me that every single document they have opened on my Moodle site has come up with all those question marks. I did put one on this morning that I cut and pasted into the text box but the formatting gets all screwed up when you do that. I asked the student to open that document at home and tell me if there were question marks. If not, am I to assume that's the only way I can put a document on Moodle? Oh, thank you all so much for trying to help me. Jane >>> Online 09/26/06 2:32 PM >>> Can you send me the original Word (.doc) file for pre-exam answers? I need to do a comparison. It appears to be an HTML Word problem but I'd like to compare files. Thanks, Meredith >>>Jane Batterson 09/26/06 2:11 pm >>> Yes >>>Online 09/26/06 1:42 PM >>> Hi Jane, I went in and took a look at your ???? problem. I can see how it's driving you nuts. How did you create the original html document? Was it a Word file you saved as html then uploaded to the Files section of your Moodle site?

I think that this may be an issue with the way Microsoft Word generates HTML code, but Joe and Meredith are far more familiar with these issues than I am. I would appreciate getting cc:d on what's going on here, however, so please do keep me in the loop. Thanks!
