Sakai 23 - Assignments: What Microsoft Word content can be previewed in the new grading interface?

 

What Microsoft Word content can be previewed in the new grading interface?

The document previewer in the Assignments new grading interface can preview basic content in Microsoft Word documents, such as plain text, hyperlinks, formatted headings (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.), boldface, italics, and embedded images. However, the document previewer ignores pagination from the document, and it does not display any other kinds of text formatting from Word (e.g., line spacing, font types, font sizes, or colors) or other content created in Word like tables, charts, shapes, etc. A table below summarizes the kinds of MS Word content and formatting the document previewer can and cannot display.

If you would like to check for MS Word content that the student may have included in the submitted document, click the linked filename (listed to the right of Viewing:) at the top of the document previewer. This will download the MS Word file for viewing offline outside Sakai.
