Help! Troubleshooting Common Problems

My words are all in one big magnet, not separated as I envisioned them...

In Step 3 ("Add Magnets"), you need to use the "vertical line" (also called "pipe") character to separate your magnets. It looks like this: |
On a U.S. keyboard, this character is above the return key, and you need to use the shift button to type it.
Or, you can copy and paste the example | character from the instructions when you're on Step 3 of the Magnet Maker.

Are you typing in a language other than English? If so, you may need to switch your keyboard/language to English in order to type the | character correctly. For example, a Japanese ｜ is not the same as a U.S. |.
Or, you can copy and paste the example | character from the instructions when you're on Step 3 of the Magnet Maker.

To use activities from the Magnet Maker, you (and your students) will need one of these Internet browsers:

Windows	Macintosh
Firefox 1.0 and higher Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher Mozilla 1.7.5 and higher Netscape 8.0 and higher	Firefox 1.0 and higher Mozilla 1.7.5 and higher Safari 1.3 and higher

You will also need Flash Player, version 6 or higher. You can check your version and download an update if needed at: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
