Editing a Word, Clue or Set
You can edit any word, clue, picture, or set in a vocabulary database. After you choose the option to Edit a vocabulary database from the main menu, follow the instructions given below to make changes to
the vocabulary words. Vocabulary words may contain spaces and the letters ‘a’ to ‘z’ but may not exceed 17 characters in length.
To edit a word, clue, or set:
- Highlight the vocabulary word that you want to edit from the word list.
Remember that you can sort the database or use the Find command to help you locate the word, clue, or set that you want to change.
- Click the Edit button.
- Change the word, clue(s), or set.
If the database was created using multiple languages, you can insert Language Characters from the Edit menu.
You can add a picture to any word and symbols to any clue in the database.
- Click the OK button to record changes or click the Cancel button to have PuzzleMaker disregard any changes you made to a database record.
NOTES:
- No blank fields are permitted unless the database was set up using multiple
languages. If multiple languages are used, the secondary clue may be left blank.
- Although PuzzleMaker supports the use of multi-word terms (e.g. Solar System) in the vocabulary
database, these terms tend to be long and can add to the puzzle generation time.
In addition, multi-word terms may exceed the maximum 17 characters allowed for
puzzle words. It is recommended that you format multi-word terms as follows:
