My model has code to handle 'noise' or distracters. It's attached. It might be newer than the one you have.

Replace the gapFill section in the .xwd with this one, and then add the optional 'Distractors' property and add the words you want to add as distractors. I think.

  <!--GAP FILL INTERACTION-------------------------------------------------------->
  <gapFill menu="Interactivity" menuItem="Gap Fill" icon="icTextEntry" remove="true" thumb="thumbs/gapFill.jpg" hint="An interaction for creating a drag and drop gap-fill exercise.">

    <name type="TextInput" label="Page Title"/>    
    <text type="TextArea" height="100" label="Introductory Text"/>
    <passage type="TextArea" height="150" label="Gap Fill Text"/>
    <interactivity type="ComboBox" label="Interactivity" options="Drag Drop,Fill in Blank" width="100"/>
    <feedback type="TextArea" height="50" label="Feedback"/>
    <panelWidth type="ComboBox" label="Panel Width" options="Small,Medium,Large,Full" width="100"/>
    
    <narration type="media" label="Narration" optional="true"/>

    <noise type="TextArea" height="50" label="Distractors" optional="true"/>

  </gapFill>

Perhaps I should restate my problem. Is there any way I can add
distractors to gap fills using the standard XOT (Nottingham) template?
