Or buy my utility which randomises questions for any number of exams :-)

Here is a macro that will put the questions into a different random order
for each student:

Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer, Source As Document, Target As
Document, students As Integer

Dim Message, Title, question As Range

Message = "Enter number of students" ' Set prompt.

Title = "Randomizer" ' Set title.

' Display message, title

students = InputBox(Message, Title)



For k = 1 To students

Set Source = Documents.Open("E:\Worddocs\source1.doc")

Set Target = Documents.Add

For i = 100 To 0 Step -1

j = Int((i * Rnd) + 1)

Set question = Source.Paragraphs(j).Range

Target.Range.InsertAfter question

question.Delete

Next i

' Print and Close Document with random list of questions

Target.PrintOut

' Target.SaveAs ("E:\worddocs\student" & k & ".doc")

Target.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

Source.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

Next k

Probably makes marking the results harder than doing the testg
