[ARCHIVED] Assigments add pages in speedgrader

[johanardhamre]

One of my students used a Microsoft Word file for an assignment. When I open speedgrader it is 11 pages. The file she turned in is only 9. When I download her assignment I get 9 pages aswell but in speedgrader it is 11. 

What happened and how do I fix it? It should only show 9 pages...

This happens to me occasionally. I teach MS Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, so I deal with hundreds of documents. 

I believe it is caused by how the preview is created in SpeedGrader.  That is, it's reading the content of the document and created a preview.  Sometimes it ends up looking different and some of the formatting is not correct, too.  

I don't know of a way to fix it.  Sometimes I simply have to download the files to view them the way the student designed them.
