Microsoft Word File to Classroom Jeopardy Editor File Conversion

The requirements and restraints for making this conversion include the following:

1.The Structural layout of the Jeopardy! template file has not been changed.

2.The contents of the game cells conform to the requirements of the Jeopardy! unit.

Difficulties opening games created in Microsoft Word can most frequently be traced to violating one of these requirements.

Here are a few tips for solving problems you might have opening Microsoft Word game template files.

When Classroom Jeopardy! Editor encounters a problem opening a Microsoft Word template file it will try to tell you where in the template it encountered the error. For example: ERROR: DJ Row 1, Col 6: Incorrect Contents indicates that the error was encountered in the Double Jeopardy Round (DJ)

the first row and sixth column of the Category/Clue section (the section with columns and rows). This particular error was generated because someone had renamed the Category 5 column to Category 6. This violates the structure of the layout of the template.

More frequently, errors have to do with an incorrect number of characters or lines in a cell. The file “Template Requirements” on your CD-ROM shows how many lines and characters are allowed in each cell of a game template.

NOTE: Lines include a certain number of visible characters and an invisible carriage return.

If you are uncertain about how many words or lines you have included in a cell, use Microsoft Word to count them for you.

1.Open the Microsoft Word game template in Microsoft Word.

2.Click and drag to select all the text in a cell.

3.Select Tools → Word Count… from the menu bar.

Among the things that Microsoft Word will display in the dialog box that appears is how many characters and lines there are in the cell. If there are more characters or lines than allowed, eliminate some of them, save, and close the file. Then, try to open it in Classroom Jeopardy! Editor.

NOTE: A common mistake is to add a carriage return to the seventh line in a clue. Doing so adds an extra (eighth) line and will always generate an error when you attempt to open the file in Classroom Jeopardy! Editor.
