Format Requirements for Importing "No Answer" Items

A No Answer item is essentially a fact or brief text that has no answer associated with it.

StudyMate can import No Answer items from a MS Word document (.doc), a rich-text file (.rtf), or a text file (.txt). However, the file must first be organized in the "Standard Format," which is actually quite simple:

 <fact1> 

  <blank line1>

  <blank line 2>

 <fact2>

This translates into the following example:

  Albert Michelson determined the exact speed of light

  Albert Einstein developed the General Theory of Relativity

It’s important to remember that this formatting requires at least two blank lines between each item. That’s because a single blank line indicates a new paragraph for the same item, not a new item altogether. Also note that enhanced formatting such as bold and italics will be retained by StudyMate when items are imported from a .rtf or .doc file. However, StudyMate will prevent you from importing files that contain images or embedded objects. (If StudyMate warns you that the document being imported contains images or embedded objects, it may be easier to export the file to .txt format so that these objects are automatically converted to a suitable format, or dropped altogether.)

The "Topic" and "Difficulty" level of No Answer items can be specified in a file prior to importing.
