in word is not the issue its the markup you have used thats the problem... the process begain at earlier today some time around 10 1 suppose and is now about have way through... ther is little milage i using this process as it depends on a very slow solution!

re-marking the the cloze candidates with a character that will never appear in the text is the best option. I am allowing the process to put [] around the cloze candidate.

I have looked at the guts of the document the xml part and I think there is a faster way to do the markup and possiblt the final solution.

But if you transfered the stuff into excell it would be substantially easier for you in the long run (that's what it looks like at present).

I will get this done later tonight, and we can catch up then.

here to talk
