Office Connector can be installed within Microsoft® Office for use with Microsoft Word, Outlook (with Word as email editor), Excel, PowerPoint, and FrontPage. When Office Connector is installed, authors are able to click on a drop-down menu to open a wizard that guides them through the process of linking to assessments. Later, people viewing the Office document can link directly to the quiz, test or survey, answer the questions, receive feedback and get online coaching. Feedback can be diagnostic and prescriptive. The document or file that contains the link remains open while the reader completes the assessment.

Questionmark Perception Office Connector has an extensive graphics library that helps users create questions and easy-to-use wizards that guide them through the process of assembling quizzes, tests, exams and surveys. By launching assessments directly from Office documents educators and trainers can turn plain documents, spreadsheets, presentations, emails and web pages into interactive tutorials.
