Top tips to help you as you create multilingual quizzes.

We recommend avoiding copying and pasting text from a Word document.

A Word document can contain some additional formatting that Microsoft has embedded. Formatting information can distort the text displayed on the page. We'd recommend adding the text to a plain-text document, such as Notepad on Windows or TextEdit or TextWrangler on Mac.
