I am not sure if this is a bug or something I messed up...
I have a quiz with three essay answers. One of the essay answers is most easily answered by generating output, formatting in Word, then pasting into the essay (it is a long statistical analysis).
One essay question shows the HTML editor and takes pasted Word input and formats it to look mostly like what it did in Word. (e.g. tables, formatting)
The other two essay questions do not show the HTML editor and when you paste in the formatted Word stuff all you get is plain text - all tables and formatting are lost.
The two essay questions that do not have the HTML editor also have the answer in the General Feedback. However, adding the same text from General Feedback to the one that does show the HTML editor does not make it go away.
Any clues?
Greetings, Steven!
In general, the essay question is MEANT to use only one html editor if you are presenting multiple questions.

I think it might possibly change things if you present each question on a different page. . . I have never done that, but it might be worth a try!

Hi Steven:
There are lots more knowledgeable folks here than I, but we ran into a very similar issue just today, so I'll give you the answer my Moodle guru gave us; it may be that this will also work for you.
Good luck!

The wysiwyg editor is memory intensive... If you had an essay test with 20 questions on a single page it would attempt to load the editor 20 times and some systems may run out of memory and crash. Thus, this is by design. The solution is to put the quizzes in 'one question per page' mode.
Good luck!
Ahhh, thank you both! I would never have thought of that.
Kind Regards,
Steve
