By Impran M N
Digitizing a paper test or written questionnaire by hand means retyping every question and answer choice one at a time. Microsoft Forms' Quick Import feature parses a Word document or PDF automatically, recognizing titles and multiple-choice structures to build most of the form for you.
01Prep your source document
Structure your Word document with clear titles and consistent list markers so Forms can parse it accurately.
02Open Quick Import
From the main Forms dashboard, click the Quick Import button tile to launch the upload window.
03Upload your file
Select Upload from this device and choose your Word document or PDF file from your computer.
04Choose Form or Quiz
Pick either the Form option or the Quiz option depending on whether you need graded evaluation.
05Review and fix the parsed layout
Once conversion completes, click Review to check the generated canvas, correcting any misread text blocks or question types before previewing.
Frequently asked questions
What file types can I import into Microsoft Forms?

Can I convert a document into a graded quiz instead of a plain form?
Yes, you can choose the Quiz option during import to enable automated grading on the converted questions.
How should I format my document for the best results?
Use clear, consistent spacing and list markers between questions and answer choices to help the parsing engine recognize structure.
