Issues using Quick Import to create a multiple choice quiz
Take this:
1. Use Clear Question and Answer Separation
Each question should be followed by its answer choices, like this:
Q1. What is the capital of France?
A. Berlin
B. Madrid
C. Paris
Avoid putting multiple questions back-to-back without spacing or line breaks.
2. Use Line Breaks Between Questions
Make sure there's a blank line between each question block. This helps Forms recognize where one question ends and the next begins.
3. Avoid Section Headings or Numbering Formats
Don’t use section headers like “Section 1” or “Part A” unless you want all questions grouped under that section. If you want separate sections, you’ll need to manually adjust them after import, Quick Import doesn’t support section breaks yet.
4. Stick to Supported Question Types
Quick Import currently supports:
• Multiple-choice questions
• Open text questions
It does not support:
• Matching
• Multiple blanks
• Matrix-style questions
• Sectioned formatting
5. Use Simple Formatting, No Tables or Images
Avoid using tables, bullet points, or embedded images. These confuse the parser and can cause everything to be lumped together.

Hi Kidd, thanks for your response. It seems like I have followed all your recommendations (see second image above) and yet the outcome is the same (as demonstrated in the first image). Is there anything else I could be doing wrong? The file type I am importing is Word .doc
