Importing a Word List
Importing a Word List
Creating Flashcard, Matching, Concentration, or Word Search Activity
If you already have an electronic file that contains your content (vocabulary list, terminology list, etc.), using Quia’s Import feature may save you some time when you create a Flashcard, Matching, Concentration, or Word Search Activity.
For Quia to be able to import a file, the file must conform to certain criteria. All files must be in the comma-delimited (comma-separated) format. Each line—created by pressing the Enter key—must contain exactly two items with no spaces before or after the separating comma.
Note the pattern in the following example word list:
Starting with a Microsoft Word File
|Arrange your text to comply with the criteria above. However, since |one,unus |
|Quia cannot import a regular Microsoft Word (.doc) file, you will need |two,duo |
|to convert your file to a plain text (.txt) file. |three,tres |
|In Word, under the File menu, choose Save As. Then, from the | |
|Save-as-type drop-down menu at the bottom of the resulting dialog box, | |
|choose Plain Text and click Save. Your file will be converted to a | |
|plain text (.txt) document, which Quia is able to import. | |
Starting with a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet
|When your word list is entered into a spreadsheet, like Microsoft | |
|Excel, you do not need to use commas as separators. The text should be | |
|placed in two columns with each row containing exactly two items. | |
|However, since Quia cannot import a regular Microsoft Excel (.xls) | |
|file, your file will need to be converted to a comma-separated (.csv) | |
|file. | |
|In Excel, under the File menu, choose Save As. Then, from the | |
|Save-as-type drop-down menu at the bottom of the resulting dialog box, | |
|choose CSV (Comma Separated) and click Save. Your file will be | |
|converted to a comma-separated (.csv) file, which Quia is able to | |
|import. | |
Extra Note: If an item in a line contains one or more commas, use quotation marks to “shield” the internal commas from being interpreted as separating commas. Notice the pattern in the following example:
aequus,“even, level, fair, just”
-----------------------
one,unus
two,duo
three,tres
Comma-Delimited
A comma separates the pair of items.
Two Items per Line
Exactly two items appear on every line.
No Intervening Spaces
No spaces appear before or after the comma.
Note: Phrases Acceptable
For example, two boys,duo pueri conforms to the criteria.
