Using Internet Explorer to Perform Assessments:
It is a *good* idea to use FireFox when working with LiveText. 
If you still choose to use Internet Explorer, it is imperative that you turn off your built-in pop-up blocker to perform an assessment.  To do this:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.
3. In the Address of Web site to allow box, type the address (or URL) of the Web site you want to see pop-ups from, and then click Add.

• How to Avoid Issues When Copying/Pasting Text into LiveText:

While there is no way to guarantee that accidents won't happen...there are some steps you can take to minimize the damage. If you are composing a reflection or reaction paper, it is recommended that you do so in MS Word (or the word processor of your choice).  Save the document as a TEXT FILE ( .txt )---do this by choosing the format in the File / Save As window.  After saving the file as .txt , then copy/paste it into LiveText.
