Practice 3
Creating a normal text-text association

- Go to the File - New... - Association menu.

- The working directory will be the same as in the previous exercise: C:\Clic\Course\Module1\Practice

- The Kind will be Normal association (both windows will have the same number of cells).

- The type of content will be Text in grid A and in grid B.

- We will create a new document for grid A. Check that NEW TEXT appears in the drop list and click on Edit contents.

- The programme will ask for a name for this text file; call it PLANDESC (it would be better to call it "Description of the planets", but remember that we have to keep names to 8 characters because Clic is a 16-bit application). When the notepad is activated write the following sentences:

It is in thermometers
The goddess of love
Where we live
The red planet
The biggest of all
A great ring surrounds it
The seventh planet
The king of the seas
The farthest

- Save the document and close the notepad.

- Open the list that corresponds to grid B and select the PLANETS.TXT file that we wrote in the previous exercise.

- Set the distribution to 3 rows and 3 columns.

- In Welcome message write the text:

Match a sentence to each planet

- ... and in Good bye message:

You know loads!

- Test the activity and make any necessary changes.

- Save it with the name PLANET1.ASS
