One way to mark a correct answer in Respondus is to place an asterisk in front of the designated answer(s). However, you cannot do this in Microsoft Word if you have automatic number lists. You can get around this by converting your number list into text.

To convert autonumbering to plain text, press ALT+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. On the View menu, click Immediate Window. In the Immediate Window, paste the following:

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

This will convert all numbered lists (letters and numbers) to text allowing you to put the * infront of the letter; which is what respondus expects the correct response to be identified with.


If you want to only covert a section of the document's content to text lists, highlight the area you want to convert and use this code instead in the Immediate Window:

Selection.Range.ListFormat.ConvertNumbersToText
