Lesson 3: Word (.docx) Formatting Standards for Automated AI Question Extraction

1. Keyword Coding Rules

The software parser uses smart string analysis algorithms. Word documents must follow these guidelines:

• Question labels: Must start with Question X: or [Question X] (e.g. Question 1: or [Question 1]).
• Options: Begin with capital letters A., B., C., D. placed at the start of a paragraph or tab-separated.
• Correct answers: Must be underlined or highlighted in red in the source document. The system reads this markup to extract key answer keys.

2. Image & Formula Formatting

• Illustrations: Insert inline (set layout to Inline with Text), avoid free-floating canvas vectors overlaying text.
• Formulas: Use MathType equations or raw LaTeX wrapped in $ markers. Avoid screenshot images of math text, as AI cannot parse them for shuffling.
