Shortcuts for importing from Word

Are there shortcuts of how to format a quiz so that I can spend less time on creating the form?

For example, I've noticed that when I import a quiz from Word, the answer is correctly selected if I put underneath my question "ANS: [Letter of choice]." Even "ans:" is fine as well. So, for another example, 

 

1. What color is the sky?
A. Brown

B. Green

C. Neon Pink

D. Blue

ANS: D

That will create a question with the correct answer selected. I wish to know if there any other shortcuts for me to streamline my workflow. Like, the feedback option or even if it an "select all that applies" trigger that I can put into a word document to just speed up generating quizzes.

    Thank you for your insight: ANS can automatically import answers into the quiz. I also noticed a similar feature that can automatically handle data formatting, making the import process much simpler. You can Google "formlinker word to form," and I hope it helps you.

    You can use the "Quick Import" feature to achieve fast file import, but you need to preprocess the file format. I prefer using "Formlinker Word to Form" to automatically format the files, which enables one-click import into Microsoft Forms. It's really cool!
