How we read Word documents
We read the .docx structure directly, keeping headings and paragraphs, so a long set of notes is split into topics before any questions are written.
Get the best results
- Use headings. They become the topics of your study guide.
- One document per unit keeps sets focused.
- Paste in your lecturer's learning objectives at the top to steer the questions.
What your flashcards include
- Term and definition cards for every key concept
- Concept cards that ask why and how, not only what
- Cards sized to your material: a short reading gets a short deck
- Spaced repetition built in: no deck settings to configure
How you study them
Flip, rate how well you knew it, and move on. Cards you find hard return sooner; cards you know well fade out until just before you would forget them.
Best for: vocabulary and definitions, formulas and dates, daily ten-minute review.
Things that trip people up with Word documents
- Old .doc files are not supported. Save as .docx first.
- Track-changes and comments are ignored; accept them first if they matter.
- Text inside images is not read from Word files. Export to PDF if your notes are mostly screenshots.
