The computer hardware, software, and printer names used in this manual are the trade names and/or trademarks of their respective owners. CROSSWORD POWER Page 4 GENERAL INFORMATION: CROSSWORD POWER is specifically designed to be simple to understand and easy to use. It requires very little knowledge of computers. No commands need to be memorized. A status line is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The current word list name is displayed in the status line. The menus allow easy movement through the program so you can begin making activities in just a few minutes. To move between the menus at the top of the screen, you can use the left or right arrow keys, a mouse, or hold the Alternate key down and press the first letter of the menu. Within the vertical menu, use the up or down arrow keys, or press the first letter of the selection to move from selection to selection. Once your selection has been hi-lighted, press the Enter key to confirm the selection and continue. Choices with bullets (or red on a color monitor) can not be selected until other actions have been taken. EDITING WORDS, CLUES, AND SETTING INFORMATION: The Home key will place the cursor at the beginning of the current edit field. The End key will place the cursor at the end of the current edit field. Alt-D will delete the current edit field. The left and right arrow keys move the cursor within the edit field. Control-left and control-right arrow keys move the cursor to the far left or right sides of the window. The up and down arrow keys move the cursor between edit fields. SPECIAL SYMBOLS Alternate-F1 displays foreign language codes, Shift-F1 displays math symbols, and Control-F1 displays the Greek characters when appropriate. The special symbols can be included in your vocabulary words and clues by holding the alternate key down and entering the 3 digit number on the number pad of the IBM keyboard. CROSSWORD POWER Page 5 THE FILE MENU: New Load First WordList Name Second WordList Create WordList Edit WordList Title Review/Change/Add Print WordList Manipulate WordList Save WordList Shell to DOS Exit NEW: This selection removes all vocabulary words and clues from the computer's memory. The name of the word list is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This line is called the status line. ABOUT THE WORD LISTS: Each word list can have up to 100 vocabulary words and related clues. Files created by CROSSWORD POWER may be copied and erased using normal DOS commands. Word lists can be copied using the Back Up selection of the Extra Menu. Word Lists can be deleted using the Delete WordList selection of the Extra Menu. Word lists created with CROSSWORD POWER are 100% compatible for use with VOCABULARY POWER, also from WISCO Computing. Word lists use the extension .WL Word list files are saved as ASCII files to make it easier to check spelling. When the spell checker of your word processor is used, make sure to save the word list file in ASCII format. Many word processors use special formatting codes when files are saved the regular way. Saving of the file in ASCII format prevents saving of the formatting codes. CROSSWORD POWER Page 6 ABOUT THE PUZZLE WORDS (ANSWERS): Puzzle words may be up to 17 characters long. Any character except the space, comma, asterisk *, double quote ", vertical bar |, and number sign # can be used in a vocabulary word. Numbers can also be used to create math puzzles. ABOUT THE CLUES (DEFINITIONS): Each clue (definition) can be up to 100 characters long. Long clues are automatically divided if necessary. Any character except the double quote " and comma can be used in a clue. WORD AND CLUE FORMATTING: The words can be changed back and forth between capital and lower case letters. It is easier to work with all capital letters. However, sometimes lower case letters are necessary. For example, in chemistry, CO means Carbon Monoxide and Co means Cobalt. This program treats capital letters and lower case letters as two different letters. This means that words will not intersect at a common letter if one is a capital letter and the other is lower case letter. HINTS: Placing the longest words into a word list first does not guarantee that more total words will be placed into a word search. Each time a word list is randomized, the order of the vocabulary words and clues is changed. Different puzzles can be used by teachers to stress the same vocabulary words but wanting to give students different puzzles. The different puzzles allow verbal interaction to learn the puzzle vocabulary words and clues. The F1 function key can be pressed to reveal a help screen to provide more information about editing the vocabulary words and clues. Alternate-F1 displays foreign language codes, Shift-F1 displays math symbols, and Control-F1 displays Greek characters while editing. CROSSWORD POWER Page 7 THE PUZZLE MENU: Automatic Arrangement Unused Words Displayed Create WordList from Unused Words Add WordList to Displayed Puzzle Create New WordList from Puzzle Self-Designed Puzzle Load Unfinished Puzzle Edit Unfinished Title Edit Puzzle Letters Edit Unfinished Clues Save Unfinished Puzzle AUTOMATIC ARRANGEMENT: When selected, a single crossword puzzle is created using your word list(s), puzzle size, and starting square. Your words are automatically placed into the puzzle. The placement of the words is determined by the starting square (from the Main Settings), and the order of words in the word list. ADD WORDLIST TO DISPLAYED PUZZLE: Only identical letters will intersect in a puzzle. All letters of the words must be either all lower or upper case (capitals). If the words from the first word list are all upper case, the words from additional word lists that are added to the puzzle must also be upper case. To quickly change the letter case, use one of the options on the manipulate selection on the FILE MENU. UNUSED WORDS DISPLAYED: This option allows you to display and print words from the word list that were not inserted into the puzzle. SELF-DESIGNED PUZZLE: You can design a complete puzzle from a blank grid. This puzzle is saved as an unfinished puzzle. The unfinished puzzle is loaded and saved from this menu. The puzzle is saved with the .UNF extension. CROSSWORD POWER Page 8 EDITING PUZZLE LETTERS: This selection lets you type puzzle words directly into the puzzle. You can also erase puzzle words with this selection. After making this selection, the flashing cursor will be located in the upper left corner of the puzzle. The HOME key can be used to return to this corner. The four arrow directional keys can be used to move to the puzzle position to enter or change a puzzle letter. When the cursor is at the location to be changed, enter the new letter. If you make a mistake, and/or wish to delete a puzzle letter, you should enter a question mark (?) for the new letter. A blank space will replace the old letter. After pressing the END key to leave the Editing mode, asterisks will be entered at the beginning and end of each puzzle word. You should save these puzzle words. Do not put more than 80 words in the puzzle. EDITING UNFINISHED CLUES: This selection allows you to enter or revise clues in unfinished puzzles and puzzles created by automatic arrangement. SAVING THE UNFINISHED PUZZLE: The Unfinished puzzle can also be saved from this menu selection. Unfinished puzzles use the same base name as the word list name. The extension of the file name is .UNF CREATE WORDLIST FROM DISPLAYED PUZZLE: This selection is used only if you are designing a puzzle from scratch or attempting to list all words used in an unfinished puzzle. Puzzle words are saved to make it easier to enter related clues. This selection makes it easier to use these words in our companion product VOCABULARY POWER. CROSSWORD POWER Page 9 THE OUTPUT MENU: Student Puzzle Printed Teacher Puzzle Printed Unfinished Puzzle Printed Clues Only Printed Both Student & Teacher Student Puzzle to Disk Teacher Puzzle to Disk EGA Screen Puzzle Display WordPerfect - Create Macro PRINTING THE STUDENT AND TEACHER PUZZLES: The student copy or teacher copy (answer key) for the puzzle will be printed when this option is selected. The boxes will be automatically numbered. The puzzle clues will also be automatically numbered, arranged and printed below the puzzle. The teacher puzzle places the letters in the puzzle grid. PRINTING THE UNFINISHED PUZZLE: An Unfinished Puzzle will be printed with this selection. The unused letter squares are not shaded in. Unfinished puzzles are used when designing puzzles without using automatic word placement. PRINTING THE PUZZLE CLUES: Only the puzzle clues will be printed using the arrangement determined by the Settings Menu. BOTH STUDENT & TEACHER: The teacher puzzle (answer key) will be printed with each student puzzle when this selection is made. SAVING STUDENT AND TEACHER PUZZLES TO DISK: You can create an ASCII file of a teacher or student puzzle for importing to another program. Complete puzzles and clues can also be saved to disk as a WordPerfect 5.1. CROSSWORD POWER Page 10 ASCII FILE NAMING DETAILS: When a puzzle is saved as an ASCII file, the first part of the file name uses the same name as the word list. The extension part (the three letters after the period) varies depending on the whether the puzzle is the teacher or student copy. The extension .PZT is the teacher copy of the puzzle, .PZS is the student copy of the puzzle, and .PZC is the extension used for the clues. EGA GRAPHICS PUZZLE DISPLAY: If your monitor can display EGA screens (SCREEN 9), then the student, teacher, and unfinished puzzles can be graphically displayed. The graphically displayed puzzle may be screen captured by other programs and imported into most desk top publishing and some word processing programs. WORDPERFECT - CREATE MACRO: CROSSWORD POWER can write WordPerfect 5.1 macros to create the crossword puzzle and clues. This feature allows formatted puzzles to be easily imported into WordPerfect 5.1 documents. Macros are supported for the EpsonLQ, ProprinterX24E, DeskJet 500, LaserJet II, and LaserJet III printers. The same printer must be selected for both WordPerfect and Crossword Power. Every possible effort was made to ensure the macro works with the simplest printer configuration. In designing any program, there are inevitable trade-offs between simplicity and flexibility. The Word Perfect macro uses the Table feature, with shading for the puzzle grid. Clues printed below the puzzle use the columns feature of WordPerfect if Side by Side was chosen on the Main Settings of the MAIN SETUP MENU. When a puzzle is displayed, this menu selection can be made. The macro will be written to the drive and subdirectory entered with the MAIN SETTINGS MENU. Choose to print either the Student, Teacher, or Unfinished puzzle. The macro is saved using the word list name with the extension .WPM. For example, if HOMONYM.WL is used to create the puzzle, the WordPerfect macro will be HOMONYM.WPM In WordPerfect, press Alt-F10, enter the name of the wordlist (no extension), and press enter. CROSSWORD POWER Page 11 THE SETTINGS MENU: Main Settings Printer Settings Save All Settings CROSSWORD POWER Main Settings Total Puzzle Size - Columns, Rows (C, R): 24, 17 Starting Square - Column, Row (C, R): 8, 17 Drive Containing Word Lists: C:\PUZZLE\ Print the Following Two Line Puzzle Heading: YES Puzzle Heading - Line 1, Left Side: SCIENCE Puzzle Heading - Line 1, Right Side: Name_________________ Puzzle Heading - Line 2, Right Side: Period 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Automatically Capitalize the Letters: YES Search Method to Find Best Puzzle: TOTAL Include Extra Space between Puzzle & Clues: NO Clue Lines Per Inch: 6 Puzzle Clue Arrangement: SIDE BY SIDE WordPerfect 5.1 Macros Subdirectory: C:\WP51\KYB\ PUZZLE SIZE: Puzzle size may be varied from 3 to 24 columns wide and from 3 to 17 rows high. A typical puzzle with clues usually fits on the normal size 8 1/2" by 11" paper. Puzzles are automatically sized before printing. Automatic sizing eliminates all outside rows and columns that do not contain letters. STARTING SQUARE: The first puzzle word in your word list is placed horizontally at the starting row and column position before trying to find intersecting words. When searching to find the best puzzle, the starting square is automatically changed to Column 1, Row 1. When the searching is completed, the starting square is set to the row and column that created the best (most puzzle words) puzzle. CROSSWORD POWER Page 12 DRIVE CONTAINING WORD LISTS: Select the Drive Letter and subdirectory. To keep the word lists in the same directory as the CROSSWORD POWER program files, delete the displayed information by pressing Alternate-D. (Holding the Alternate Key down while pressing the letter D). PRINTING THE PUZZLE HEADING: The topic of the word list will always be printed on the left side above the puzzle. The three additional headings can also be printed above the student puzzle when Yes is chosen. SEARCH METHOD TO FIND BEST PUZZLE: The Total method examines all possible starting square combinations. The Quick method examines about 40 starting square combinations. The first combination places the first word from your word list in the upper left corner of the puzzle. Then attempts are made to find intersecting words. The program will remember how many words were placed in each puzzle. Then the first word is moved to a new starting square. The different placement will cause different letter and word intersections. This results in a different number of total words placed in the puzzles. INCLUDE EXTRA SPACE BETWEEN PUZZLE & CLUES: Selecting YES adds an extra line feed (blank line) between the puzzle grid and the puzzle clues. CLUE LINES PER INCH: Normal spacing is 6 clues lines per inch. Changing to 8 lines per inch may prevent a puzzle grid and clues from printing on separate pages. PUZZLE CLUE ARRANGEMENT: Full line printing prints all across clues before printing the down clues. If Side by Side is selected, across and down clues will be automatically balanced and formatted in two columns below each puzzle grid. CROSSWORD POWER Page 13 AUTOMATICALLY CAPITALIZE PUZZLE LETTERS: Only identical letters will intersect in a puzzle. All letters of the words must be either all lower or upper case. This setting determines the letter case of the words entered into the word lists and puzzle squares. To quickly change the letter case, use one of the options on the manipulate selection on the FILE MENU. WORDPERFECT 5.1 MACRO SUBDIRECTORY: WordPerfect macros are keyboard shortcuts to entering a long string of commands and text. CROSSWORD POWER creates macros to automate the process of cutting, copying, and pasting a crossword puzzle and clues into a Word Perfect document. WordPerfect must be installed on your hard drive to use this feature of CROSSWORD POWER. Start WordPerfect to locate the WordPerfect Macro Drive \Subdirectory. 1. Press Setup (Shift-F1) to display the SetUp Menu. 2. Select Location of Files (6). The Drive\subdirectory name is displayed on the line 2. Keyboard\Macro Files. Exit (F7) WordPerfect. Restart CROSSWORD POWER and place this name at this setting. When you have completed entering the settings on this menu, press the Escape Key. These settings can be saved be selecting Save These Settings.

Most printers can support one or more of these command sets. Epson LQ - 24 pin - A C S HP LaserJet III - Sha Pat Epson FX - 9 pin - A C S IBM Proprinter X24E - A C S HP DeskJet 500 - A C S IBM Proprinter 9 pin - A C S HP LaserJet II - A C S Generic - A For an unlisted printer, check your printer manual to determine which command set your printer can use. Additional printers may be supported. PUZZLE AND CLUE PITCH: Select a printer pitch supported by your printer. CROSSWORD POWER supports 10, 12, 15, and 17 pitch. Ten pitch refers to 10 characters per inch. The larger the pitch number, the more characters are printed per inch. CROSSWORD POWER automatically sets the point size for the LaserJet III, LaserJet II, and DeskJet 500 printers based on the pitch setting. CROSSWORD POWER Page 15 SET PRINTER TO LETTER QUALITY (BOLD): Depending on the printer, the puzzles may be printed in either draft of letter quality mode. SHEET FEEDER <Yes or No>: You will be asked if a sheet feeder is attached to the printer. This selection prevents an extra page from being ejected from your printer. IGNORE PRINTER STATUS <Yes or No>: CROSSWORD POWER checks the status of the parallel printer port before sending any data. This normally works quite well. However, if you map a parallel port to a serial one by the MODE command, or if you have a non-standard, or very fast computer, you may experience problems. CROSSWORD POWER might actually think that your printer port (LPT1:) is busy when you know it is not. If you have printer problems like this, select Y for Yes to ignore the printer status. LPT PRINTER PORT: This Number indicates where the selected printer is connected to your computer. Most printers are connected to port (LPT1:). If you have additional parallel printer ports, you may use printer port 2 or 3. FILL METHOD <A>SCII, <C>HECKERED, OR <S>OLID If the listed printer has a C or an S after the printer name, the unused letter squares can be filled with a checkered or solid pattern. The LaserJet III does not support an ASCII character filling the unused letter squares. To create solid squares on the LaserJet III set the shading to 100% ASCII FILL CHARACTER NUMBER (32 to 254): This number is used when an ASCII fill of the unused letter squares was selected. Consult your DOS manual for a chart of ASCII numbers and characters. CROSSWORD POWER Page 16 SELECTING HP FONTS: Internal fonts are fonts provided with the printers. Ten pitch Courier and 16.66 (condensed) pitch Lineprinter fonts are provided with the LaserJet III, LaserJet II, and DeskJet 500 printers. The LaserJet III also includes a 12 pitch Courier and two scalable fonts (CG Times and Univers). The scalable fonts can be used with the LaserJet III printer. The point size will be determined by the selected pitch. CROSSWORD POWER includes fixed width soft fonts in 12 and 15 pitch for the HP LaserJet II/III and HP DeskJet Printers. CROSSWORD POWER will transfer (download) the correct soft font to the HP LaserJet II/III and DeskJet printers as needed. When a puzzle is printed with the LaserJet III printer, a file is saved to disk and CROSSWORD POWER copies that file to the printer. This extra step actually reduces the time needed to print the crossword puzzle and clues. WISCO Computing intends to support additional soft fonts in future releases. SYMBOL SET: Three Symbol Sets (10=PC-8, 11=PC-8 D/N, and 12=PC-850) include the line-draw characters that are necessary to create the puzzle grid for DeskJet and LaserJet II printers. If you are using a LaserJet II compatible printer, make sure your printer supports the symbol set you have chosen. If the 12 or 15 pitch Courier soft fonts are used, the Symbol Set will be automatically changed to 10. The largest selection of printable foreign language characters will be included by selecting the PC-850 Symbol Set. The LaserJet III printer does not need the line draw characters, so any symbol set can be used. HP LASERJET TYPEFACE NUMBER: Typeface refers to the unique design of the characters. The following typefaces were included with the LaserJet III: 0=LinePrinter, 3=Courier, 5= CG Times, and 52=Univers. CROSSWORD POWER Page 17 HP LASERJET II/DESKJET PUZZLE SQUARE SIZE: The squares in the puzzles can be either square or full (taller) size. Full size allows easier fill ins while square size looks more professional. SHADING PERCENT FOR UNUSED LETTER SQUARES: The unused puzzle letter squares are filled with one of eight shading patterns allowed by the printer. The closer the percentage is to 100, the more the box is shaded (100% means the box is solid black). The following eight shading patterns are allowed by the HP-LaserJet III printer: 1-2% 3-10% 11-20% 21-35% 36-55% 56-80% 81-99% 100% The intensity of the checkered fill with the LaserJet II printer is also determined by the shading pattern. HP-DEFINED CROSS-HATCHED PATTERN NUMBER: The unused puzzle letter squares are filled with one of six cross-hatched patterns allowed by the HP-LaserJet III printer. 1. horizontal lines 4. back slashes 2. vertical lines 5. small squares 3. forward slashes 6. small diamonds EPSONLQ & IBMPROPRINTER X24E FONTS: The following EpsonLQ and IBM Proprinter X24E fonts are supported: 0. Roman (10,12,15 pitch) 1. San Serif (10,12,15 pitch) 2. Courier (10,12,15 pitch) 3. Prestige (10,12,15 pitch) 4.

WORKING WITH VOCABULARY POWER: Word lists created with CROSSWORD POWER are 100% compatible with VOCABULARY POWER from WISCO Computing. VOCABULARY POWER will create matching & multiple choice quizzes, cryptolists, word searches, vocabulary bingo cards, and flash cards from your word lists. Words and clues are automatically randomized before print outs are made. It is recommended that CROSSWORD POWER and VOCABULARY POWER be placed in the same subdirectory of the hard disk. This allows both programs to use the same settings (WISCOSET.CNF) and allows easier access of the word lists for both programs. CROSSWORD POWER Page 20 THE MULTIPLE MENU: Find Best Single Puzzle Find & Print Best Single Puzzle If the Escape key is pressed during the search for the best puzzle, the program will return to the Multiple Menu. THE BEST SINGLE PUZZLE: The program will search through different word arrangements to find the best single puzzle. If Find & Print Best Single is selected, the best puzzle will be printed automatically after the search is completed. The first word from your word list is placed in the upper left corner of the puzzle. Then the program attempts to find intersecting words. Your first word is moved to the squares which will cause different intersections. The program will remember which arrangement caused the greatest number of words to be placed in the puzzle. This puzzle will be displayed after the searching is completed. The number of puzzles searched is determined by the search method selected on the SETTINGS MENU.
