Errors during the process

There are three main categories of errors that can occur during conversion

  1. Word document errors
  2. Question formatting errors (example)
  3. System errors.

The first pass over the document is to check for Word document errors. If any are found, the conversion process will stop and you will be notified of the errors. You will need to correct the errors in your Word document and re-upload it to Qcon.

If no Word document errors are found, the conversion process will continue to the question formatting check. If any Question formatting errors are found, the conversion process will stop and you will be notified of the errors. You will need to correct the errors in your Word document and re-upload it to Qcon.

Word document errors

Word document errors are related to the word document. These errors can include:

  • Incorrect file format
  • Missing content
  • Incorrect question numbering (only numerical numbering supported)

If any Word document errors are found, the conversion process will stop and you will be notified of the errors. You will need to correct the errors in your Word document and re-upload it to Qcon.
