I have followed the advice/help files for uploading a GIFT document into the QUIZ section. I tried as a word files then a txt. I then went to the example and saved as a txt file and uploaded it but it appeared as goggledegook.
I must be doing something wrong.
Any help please would be really gratefully received.
Thanks Guys
Really helpful.
Looking at the txt file you supplied I notice that 2 line spaces separate each question. Is this technically necessary?

From the helpfile formatgift.html:
There must be a blank line (double carriage return) separating questions. For clarity, the answers can be written on separate lines and even indented. For example:
The American holiday of Thanksgiving is celebrated on the {
~second
~third
=fourth
} Thursday of November.
Japanese characters originally came from what country? {
~India
=China
~Korea
~Egypt}So only one empty line is necessary
You are in the UK, so I doubt this applies but, notepad in Japan saves in shift-jis format. One needs to use an editor that saves in EUC_JP, other wise it appears in gobbledigook.
My guess is that the text file that you created with Word, is including some nasties, so as Koen suggests you should use a text editor. If that does not work please post your GIFT file.

Didn't know that Tim. I always feel happy that I speak a West European language when I read something like that 
(we only have some problematic words taken from French, but those are minor problems)
