To assist in the marking of IT practical papers in both tasks and examinations, Impaq has
decided that the learner’s Delphi code must be copied and saved to a Microsoft Word
document.

Once the learner has completed the programming code in Delphi, he/she must:

• Save their work first. Make an extra copy as a backup and then start with the process
to get it in a Word-document format. Learners must keep the original test/examination
safe in case of any queries.
• Select all his/her coding by holding down the <CTRL> and <A> keys on the keyboard.
This will select ALL the Delphi code in the program he/she was busy with.
• The code needs to be copied by holding down the <CTRL> and <C> keys. This will
copy all the Delphi code in the program he/she was busy with.
• Open Microsoft Word.
• Open a new document in Microsoft Word.
• Hold down <CTRL> and <V>. This will paste the learner’s code into the Microsoft
Word document.
• Repeat this for every question completed.
• Save the Microsoft Word document as the learner’s name and student number.
• Submit the Microsoft Word document on [Link].
