Hi, I can't seem to make my container (s) accept / reject several words.
I've had success for single words / objects only...(1st pg. of flp.) Other posts on the forum have been v. useful for helping in this...but seem to relate only to single items...mostly objects also..(1st pg. of flp.)See the flp. to see what I mean. This would be used by students. Anyone is free to use /adapt the flp.Has anyone else had similar issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated...i'm at wits end! Tried various ways, no luck. When I list the words to be accepted in the container..via the edit box do I list them separated by a comma, or one word per line. It (container) seems to only accept the first word. Thanks guys for your help:-/ dorando, London,UK
ps: This forum is brillll.

Hi,

I looked at your flipchart. Unfortunately a lot of the text has changed in to symbols, so I couldn't correct the whole thing, but I can tell you how to fix it yourself.

You've set the containers right, although it might have been quicker to simply set the keyword as positive, neutral and negative, but you haven't set the text to have the keywords. If you double click on each word in design mode and click on identification you'll see a box that says keywords. In the box you need to type in one of the key words you put on the containers. I tried it with 'dangerous' and it worked just fine. If that doesn't make sense, post again! Or change the font to something boring that'll be on my computer and I can show you with the actual flipchart! +wave+
