This project is a VSTO document-level customization (Word document in Office 2010) to allow users to easily create quizzes in Microsoft Word and export them to Moodle's XML format, for import in Moodle.
2014-02-20 There is a branch for a VSTO document-level customization (Word document in Office 2010) for building under Visual Studio 2013. To build it, use VisualSVN to "Get Solution from Subversion" and point to the /branches/VS2013 branch. There may be warnings about the solution file, but in my tests under Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, I was still able to build. I'd appreciate other feedback if you have trouble.
2014-02-23 I don't think XSD can work to do detailed validations of XML generated by this tool. See the following discussion for the details: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=254950
