Default Re-arranging multiple choice questions

I am a teacher and have used Word 2003 to make up a standard multiple choice
test. I'd like to find an easy way to scramble the questions so I can make
different versions of the test. That is, I'd like to have the order of the
questions varied on each test version. Is there an easy way to do this
without just cutting and pasteing?
Thanks in advance

I think you will have to call in the help of Excel if you want to scramble
the questions.
For Word I have written a macro to change the order of the options: A
becomes B, B becomes C, C becomes D and D becomes A. E always stays E since
it is the "none of the above option". If you are interested, I could show you
what I have done.

If you have used outline numbering (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html), you should
be able to use Outline view for this (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingOLView.htm).
