How do you make a partition active in Partition Magic?

I created a 10gig extended Primary partition using Partition Magic in order to install Ubuntu Linux
as a dual boot. In order to install Ubuntu I have to make this extended partition active but I'm at a loss as to how that's done. I've searched the help files and there's no mention on how to. Anyone have a lot of experience with Partition Magic? Thanks.

i believe if you right click on the extended primary partition there should be an option there to make it active.
