    I'm not sure if I am happy or angry! Happy that you showed me this method of formatting questions into usable testbank format, ANGRY that I have been doing things the hard way for about 20 years!!! Thank you sir! May you have goats' milk enough for thy food, food enough for thy household.

    This was an amazing tutorial! You saved me hours of work manually imputing the questions into Blackboard! If I could give you a 1000 thumbs up or buy you a drink, I would. Thanks a bunch.

    Like the others who've commented, I have to switch to fully online instruction. About 2 years ago, I went through a long and painful trial and error to figure out how to move a Word test to Blackboard, and now I'm trying to remember those steps. But this seems so much less painful - thank you!

    Your first "Replace" action for the answer line removal: you should have asked it to replace with nothing instead of a space. Your method tool ALSO includes a letter for each answer. In Blackboard you have the option of randomizing answers which will naturally create a strange appearance with lettered answers being in a randomized order. Pretty good tool except for that stark issue. If you could not include those letters it would be perfect. Let me know if you fix it.

But the second time when I tried with the same procedure, I find it is not working and it generates error message like this: An error occurred. Contact the System Administrator. For reference, the Error ID is 7d08ec17-0701-4ca0-b481-5cf1812016cc. Why it happens and what is the solution? I will appreciate your response. Best wishes,
