pebble in my shoe

i am looking over my course and really disappointed as i look at my written assignments. There is no way that i can discern to create a written assignment activity where i can give the students a list of questions either in a form format or in an attached file for them to fill out. I am faced with having to ask them to copy and paste my questions into a word processor, answer the questions and then attach and upload their responses to the questions. This is extremely frustrating and the "process" interferes with my instructional objective which is to have the students do the activity AND share it... and better yet would be to then be able to discuss or ask questions of each other based on their individual assignments.
