Silhouette 1.8.x Changes FAQ
Many of the buttons on the Student window have been moved to be part of a new menu bar in Version 1.8.x.  This allows for more lines of the subject and criteria/comments to be on view.

On the Student windows, with the new Student menu and the Next and Previous buttons, you can move to another student report without having to exit back to the Student Reports window.

When you navigate to another student report using the Students menu or the Next or Previous button, the current report is automatically saved.

Checkmarks Problems? (March 2010): We've had a few emails from teachers (usually running from the Portable Version on a USB stick) who's checkmarks show up as 'little igloos' in SilhouetteCE and as square brackets on the printouts. Usually the procedure below will fix the problem:
          The computer has lost contact with the Common Bullets font. Close Silhouette. Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel and enter Fonts. Locate Common Bullets and click on it. That should open a window filled with symbols of different sizes.  Then close everything and run Silhouette again. The checks should be back.
Button, Button, Where's My Button?: With the introduction of Version 1.8.0, in both the Windows and Mac versions we moved the Get Template and other buttons to the menu bar.  Unfortunately, in the Mac OS, the menu bar is not attached to the program window (as in Windows) so you have to look across the top of your screen to find it.

Note (Nov 2008): BCeSIS is not capable of importing PSR information from Silhouette. At VSB schools that are fully on BCeSIS, PSR data will have to be entered manually.
