This is a good review activity, but some of the words were for postal codes, which confused my students.

Bought this and cannot see any of the words! Also, it's geared toward a US History class, not a world history course, so be aware of that when purchasing. Overall, waster of money.

Jim, I am sorry you are unhappy with the puzzle. It isn't formatting correctly on Macs, so I redid it. Hopefully this solves the problem. Please download the new version and see if you can use it. (On the FAQ's for TPT this is addressed for PDF's in case this happens to you again.)
I don't think I listed it as appropriate for World History, but I did say History, so I can see how you might think that. I will gladly refund your money. Please send me an email at jolib1@yahoo.com from your PayPal email account and I will refund it by PayPal.
I am so sorry for the problem, but I will do whatever will make you happy.

I was disappointed that it was only a 1 page document, especially for the price. Might be helpful to put that in the description.
November 26, 2012
Donna Melton (TpT Seller)
I appreciate your comment and suggestion. I have revised the lesson and included two different versions of the questions as a worksheet that can be passed out to students. I do think the price is justified as this activity took quite a while to make. I had to come up with questions whose answers most students would likely not know and then research answers myself. AND the activity will take an entire class period (perhaps more for younger students). If you are not able to download the revision without paying again, please send another comment telling me that and then email me at jolib1@yahoo.com so that I can email you the revised document. This is an email not regularly checked which is why I need you to comment first so I will be notified by my primary email account. Again thanks.

A bit small to write in but no other way to cover that much on one crossword puzzle! Kept me from having to spend a lot of time typing information into a certain format!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Katie Gustafson (TpT Seller) re: Vietnam War Crossword Puzzle
I purchased your Vietnam Crossword Puzzle and the clues are not readable underneath the puzzle. Can you please guide me on how to fix this? The letters are jumbled and resizing the image has not helped. Thank you for your prompt response.
April 12, 2011
Donna Melton (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your purchase. Perhaps you are using a newer or an earlier version of Microsoft Word. If you will email me at donnajmelton@gmail.com, I will send you a copy of the puzzle in Word 2007 which should work. For some reason, this website wants documents to be in an earlier version of MS Word. I will do whatever is necessary to make it workable for you or will refund your money. Again thanks. Donna

shannonarbuckle re: Civil War Crossword Puzzle
I am not able to download this crossword puzzle, which I purchased. All that pulls up is the title. No puzzle. Please let me know how I can get this corrected. Thanks, Shannon
June 1, 2010
Donna Melton (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your purchase, Shannon. I am sorry you are having trouble. I have sold 38 other copies with no problems but computer are finicky, aren't they? Do you have Microsoft Word on your computer? Perhaps that is the problem. Please try again and if that does not work, send me an email at the address jolib1@yahoo.com and I will reply with a copy of the puzzle. Perhaps that will work. Again thanks. Donna

Donna,
I just found this site recently. I like some of your creation. I am a HS Math teacher of 23 yrs and have some materials I have developed. My question is, is it worth my time to get these on this site? Do you make any money? Thanks for your honesty. Please email a response to: clabeots@baraboo.k12.wi.us

In the two years I have been on this site, I have made $110. Since it costs $30 per year to join, I have cleared only $50. As you can see it is no money-maker, especially considering the time it takes to make a crossword puzzle with Excel, but it hopefully helps some teachers. Hope this helps. Donna
