I agree - sending a PDF, Word doc, RTF, etc for that is just horrid.
Consider saveing the Word docs as plain text, then parsing them with a
Perl script or something to split them into questions and answers you
can store in the database.
Even if the script only does a rough job it might do enough of the job
that you could quickly go through and fix them up / check them against
the original documents.
There are almost certainly existing questionnaire / exam scripts or
applications you can re-use for the presentation side.
