Preferences Explained
Show requirements and constraints for opening Microsoft W
ord Jeopardy! game templates?
Previous Classroom Jeopardy! game units could only be programmed using the keyboard
that attached to the back of the unit. However, in order to help game writers organize their
thoughts, Educational Insights included a Microsoft Word
®
template on the Classroom
Jeopardy! CD. The template used tables with rows and columns and allowed game writers to
enter all the information a game required into separate cells in the table. However, the game
still had to be entered into the unit using the special keyboard provided. GOOD NEWS!
All those games teachers entered into the Microsoft Word
®
templates can be opened in
Classroom Jeopardy! Editor and saved to your computer or to cartridges where they’ll
be available when they’re wanted.
For additional instructions on troubleshooting Microsoft Word file to Classroom Jeopardy
