Spellmaster Tutorial

Spellmaster is used to create exercises with pairs of words. They can be synonyms, antonyms, words in two different languages, a word and its definition...

1. Create two folders in disk C:, "Spellmaster" and "SpellmasterSound", for example.

2. Download both "Packs" separately at http://www.spellmaster.com/ . The first is for text only exercises, the second is for exercises with sound.

6. Before starting to work with Spellmaster, take a look at the "Readme" file.

7. Before creating an exercise, think of the content for it. Then open a subfolder with the name of the exercise - Family, House, Simple Past... - and copy all the files from Spellmaster into it.

8. Open the "words" file, delete all the data and insert your own.

VImP:

a. The data is inserted in pairs that are separated by commas.

b. There is no space after the comma.
