NOTE TO BURNABY SILHOUETTE 4 USERS (November 2010): Both the Windows (Version 4.9.1) and MacOS (Version 4.9.3) versions of Silhouette 4 have been revised to produce the new 2010 format for Burnaby Report Inserts.

Note to Silhouette4(MacOS) and SilhouetteCE(MacOS) users (November 2010): If you are unsuccessful in updating to the current version please look for a solution here (Silhouette4) or here (SilhouetteCE).

Checkmarks Problems on SilhouetteCE or SilhouetteELAR? We've had a few emails from teachers whose checkmarks show up as 'little igloos'  or 'snowflakes 'in Silhouette and as square brackets on the printouts. Usually the procedure below will fix the problem:
    Solution A: 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.
    Solution B: If the above does not work then try this:
           1. Click on this link and save the file onto your desktop
           2. Close your browser and run InstallSilhouetteCEFont.exe. You will be all done in a few seconds.
           3. Check again for igloos or snowflakes.
