Filename • All word documents must be saved with “.docx” extension.
Filename:
Your word file should be named using this notation –
“<Book ID>-<chapter number>.<section number>-<problem
number>”
So, 1738-5.4-3P is a valid file name.
Note: Incase there is no section number, your file name would
follow the notation –
<Book ID>-<chapter number>-<problem number>, so 1738-5-
