how do i make crosswords
I'd have to say that Word would be a frustrating tool to try to use
for creating crossword puzzles. You might try making a table with the appropriate number of rows and columns. Click Table Autofit Fixed column width. Click Table Table Properties Rows, check "Specify height", and set an Exact height to make the cells approximately square. Use Format Borders & Shading (or the shading button on the Table toolbar) to fill certain squares with black. Below the table, insert a section break and then use Format Columns to make the section for the clues. Word won't give you any help at all for deciding where to put the words so they intersect, or for numbering the cells properly. Instead, you should first search Google for the terms crossword puzzle create and look at the various programs -- online or downloadable, free or commercial -- that are made specifically for the job. I haven't tried any of them, but I was impressed by the description of Crossword Compiler (http://www.crossword-compiler.com/). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
