I have a questionnaire I worked out in English and I copied it so I could translate to Spanish. In creating questions in Spanish, I used a cut and paste process from an online document. The resulting questions, if the original has accents and characters specific to Spanish, appear to students with formatting code:
<!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> Su ocupación, título o tipo de trabajo
I'm not sure if this is specific to Questionnaire, or whether this question should be posed in a different forum. I'm looking for a way to translate this without starting over from scratch. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Hi Ben,
This is what frequently happens when you copy and paste from a Word document into a webpage: the Word formatting code is shows up. What I do is to copy the text into Notepad (or another text editor) to strip out the Word code and copy it from there into Questionnaire or any other webpage. You may need to redo the formatting.
It's usually quicker to write directly in the online html editor. If you want to prepare offline, you could use something like KompoZer (free) to write the webpage. Then you can copy directly into Questionnaire.
Word is designed to give instructions to a printer, which it does very well, not to create webpages, which it will do but very badly.
Cheers,
Glenys
