Because Classroom Jeopardy! Editor actually uses Microsoft Word® in an invisible mode to open these Word game templates, there are some requirements that must be met. The requirements are as follows:

1.Microsoft Word® must be properly installed on your computer.

2.The structural layout of the Classroom Jeopardy! template file must not have been changed.

3.The contents of the game’s cells must conform to the requirements of the Classroom Jeopardy! unit with respect to length of clues, length of category names, and so forth.

Click Yes if you would like to be reminded of these requirements each time you attempt to open such a game. Click No if you do not want to be reminded.

Automatically run Spell Checker before saving a game or before storing a game onto a cartridge?

Check Yes if each time you attempt to save a game or store it on a cartridge you want the Spell Checker to check the spelling of the entire game. If you would rather choose when you will run the Spell Checker by selecting Tools → Spell Checker, then set this preference to No.
