I am working the exercises in the Elementary Introduction book, and cannot get the examples of the WordCloud function to work. I get the message"The weight specification used is invalid. At least one weight must be a positive real number. I have tried examples from other sources with the same result. Any ideas?

I do get the string back. I have tried several strings, including the one you provided with the same result.

The WordCloud examples from the book seem to work for me, can you paste the code that generates an error for you?

This basic example:

WordCloud[WikipediaData["computers"]]
Yields:WordCloud: The weight specification used is invalid. At least one weight must be a positive real number.

I have tried several other examples and get the same result.

Thanks for the help.
