Inserting Symbols into a Clue
To offer greater flexibility, PuzzleMaker lets you insert symbols into your clues. By using symbols in your clues, you
can create mathematical equations, or insert special symbols. After you have
chosen the option to Edit a vocabulary database from the main menu, follow the steps below to insert symbols into your clues.
To insert symbols into your clues:
- Highlight the word that you want to insert the symbols into and click the
Edit button. Or you can click the Add button if you will be
inserting symbols into the clue field of a new word.
- Within the clue field, place your cursor where you want to insert a symbol,
and click your left mouse button.
- Click the Symbol button.
- Click the symbol you want to insert into the clue. Click the Insert
button to place it in the clue.
- Click Done to return to the Edit Record or Add Word
dialog box.
Special symbols cannot be used in a word because the symbols cannot be typed
by the students while they complete puzzles. The student can, however, type
the name of the symbol in place of the symbol itself. Examples include:
can be typed as pi,
can be typed as division, and © can be
typed as copyright.
