Practice 4
Creating a text-image association

- Activate the File - New... - Association menu and confirm that you want to continue working in the C:\Clic\Course\Module1\Practice folder

- Change the Kind to Complex association. In this guided practice grid B will have more areas than grid A.

- For grid A select the type Text, drop the list and select the PLANETS.TXT file which we created in the previous activity.

- For grid B select the type Image, drop the list and look for the PLANETS.GIF file.

- Select 3 columns and 3 rows. This is the layout we will use for the grid on the left.

- Click on the Relationship assignment button and type 5 in B Columns and 6 in B Rows. This image has been made, thinking specifically in this cell layout.

- Select the word Mercury from the list on the left and, on the right, click on the cell showing this planet (the one nearest the sun).

- Then click on Venus and the corresponding cell in the image on the left.

- Continue like this for the rest of the planets, always selecting from list A first and then clicking on the corresponding cell in B. As the image is compressed, there are some planets that cannot be seen very well. Pluto is a small stain at the top left of the image.

- Confirm the relationship assignment by clicking on OK. We then go back to the edit activity window.

We could check the aspect of the activity by clicking on OK again. It is not quite what we hoped for because the content of B is disordered and the graphic looses its meaning. We can go back to editing the activity by typing CTRL+E.

- Unmark the Delimit cells and Shuffle boxes for grid B. The ones in grid A can be left marked.

- Write a welcome message such as:

Find each planet in this diagram

- ... and a good bye message of congratulations.

- Test the activity.
