How to parse doc/docx file using javascript, angular

I'm developing an application which creates quizzes. Teachers will create quizzes to evaluate knowledge of pupils. I created simple API using NodeJS and web part of the application using AngularJS.

But it is quite difficult for old teachers to type all question and answers.

I think it would be better to add an opportunity for them to upload doc/docx files which will parse and aggregate all questions and answers into a quiz.

Does anybody know any solutions which work on Angular and NodeJS ?

Thanks!

Although I think there is a python lib that works with node to parse new office files, I'd suggest you to use excel and export .csv files which are basically test and could be parsed by you easily.

Teachers could still use the familiar excel file,the just have to follow a specific layout.

You have to define some way of how the questions must look like so you can parse them correctly. Assuming every question has four possible answers, I'd suggest five columns

|Question|Correct Answer|Answer B|Answer C|AnswerD|

You could then just randomize the order of the answers when dispalying them...

EDIT

Second idea, just provide a really easy UI to add and manage questions, shouldn't be too hard to get something teacher-proof
