Most users prepare questions

00:00:01

and answers ahead of time in

00:00:04

Microsoft Word, for instance,

00:00:06

before creating their form or quiz.

00:00:08

In Microsoft Forms,

00:00:10

double entry is a waste of time.

00:00:12

Microsoft Forms has introduced a new

00:00:15

functionality to quickly import the existing

00:00:17

file and generate a survey or quiz for it.

00:00:20

To save time, go to All My Forms page.

00:00:25

Then use this button to start the import.

00:00:27

Just follow a few simple layout rules

00:00:29

so the import to the Microsoft Forms

00:00:32

app is seamless.

00:00:33

These rules can be found here.

00:00:35

Let's see what the correspond

00:00:37

to in a text document.

00:00:39

Microsoft Forms recommends that you use

00:00:42

multiple choice or text based question types.

00:00:45

Separate your questions and statements simply

00:00:47

by skipping a line with no particular layout.

00:00:51

Organize your content vertically,

00:00:52

especially to write your answers.

00:00:55

Don't add complex illustrations or formulas.

00:00:57

You can complete these items

00:01:00

later directly in Microsoft Forms.

00:01:02

After your document is successfully prepared,

00:01:05

you can upload it to Microsoft Forms.

00:01:08

Only use PDF and Word documents,

00:01:11

then specify if your

00:01:13

document is a form or quiz.

00:01:16

Microsoft Forms then converts your document.

00:01:18

Once done,

00:01:19

you can import another document

00:01:21

or start revising your new form to

00:01:24

check that everything is in its

00:01:26

place and add other items if needed.

00:01:29

We can see that most of our items

00:01:31

have been imported correctly.

00:01:33

Here we can find the title of

00:01:35

our form and its description.

00:01:37

A section has also been created,

00:01:39

but its title and description have

00:01:42

been added to the same field.

00:01:44

To edit an item,

00:01:46

simply click on it and make

00:01:48

the necessary changes.

00:01:50

A text field was automatically added

00:01:52

for questions that did not contain

00:01:55

answers in the initial Word document.

00:01:57

And a multiple choice question

00:01:59

was also created from here.

00:02:01

The steps are relatively the same as

00:02:04

starting from scratching Microsoft Forms.

00:02:06

Just click on any item to edit

00:02:09

it or perhaps add more settings.

00:02:11

Now you know how to save time by

00:02:14

creating forms or quizzes with

00:02:16

Quick Import in Microsoft Forms.
