Help! Getting a probe word chosen out of a large list once during every sample

[John Fletcher]

liw,
thank you for your response. The words are being shown 1 at a time in
the 9 positions. My problem with setting the list to random is that
the probe word is not shown every time in one of those 9 position
because there are 23 other words and only one probe. I have tried
weighting my probe word, but I cannot have it shown more than once in
each group of 9 words. I am rather new to E-prime, and if what i have
written is not enough information about my experiment please let me
know and when I get out of class I will sit down and write out all of
what I am doing.

Thanks,
JCFIII
