CAPABILITIES OF CROSSWORD POWER:
Crossword Puzzles and Kriss-Cross Activities can be
varied from 3 to 36 columns and from 3 to 20 rows. These
activities can be printed in 10, 12, 15, or 17 pitch.
The pitch depends on your printer capabilities and the
selections in the Settings Menu.
Up to 200 words can be placed automatically in each
activity. The words can be up to 17 characters long.
Clues can be up to 100 characters long. Words and clues
can easily be added, deleted, printed, randomized,
formatted, or changed at any time. Multiple activities
allow teachers to stress the same vocabulary but use
different activities with their students. This has been
a proven effective method for learning vocabulary words.
Backups of all files can be made using normal DOS disk
copying procedures or the Back-Up word list selection of
the Options Menu.

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│1 25 Words 1:XMASWORD 2:NONE From Complete List C12 R1│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The Status Line (the bottom line of the display) provides
information about the words used in these activities.
The first number on the Status Line refers to the
activity number that is displayed. The next number on
the status line indicates the number of words used in the
activity.
Following the 1: is the name of the first wordlist. This
wordlist was selected with the File Menu. This wordlist
is used with all activities. Following the 2: is the
name of the second wordlist. This wordlist was selected
with the File Menu. The second wordlist can be removed
from the word search by using the selection on the File

When this menu is displayed, press the letter of your
choice. The words will be changed, and you will have the
option of saving the changes.
MANIPULATION HINTS:
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.
Placing the longest words into a word list first does not
guarantee that more total words will be placed into an
activity.
Each time a word list is randomized, the order of the
vocabulary words and clues is changed.
Teachers can use different activities to stress the same
vocabulary words with different formats. The different
activities allow for the different learning styles of
students.

processors.
A Printer Settings selection determines the filename used
for this file. WISCO.TMP can be used as a common
filename. A common filename conserves disk space, and
allows setting up icons to send a common filename to
different printers. If you decide not to use a common
filename, the following pattern is used to name the 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 if it is the teacher or
student copy. The first letter of the extension will
always be P (for PUZZLE). The last letter will either be
a S for STUDENT or T for TEACHER. The second letter
varies with the activity. The second letter is a Z for
Puzzle or a K for Kriss-Cross.
The original word lists use the extension .WL The word

TOTAL COLUMNS, ROWS:
The size of the crossword puzzles and kriss-cross
activities may be varied from 3 to 36 columns wide and
from 3 to 20 rows high. A 15 column by 15 rows grid with
clues usually fits on the normal size 8 1/2" by 11"
paper. The maximum number of columns that can be printed
is determined by the printer pitch. The maximum number
of columns for a 10 pitch printer setting is 24 columns.
Other maximums are 12 pitch = 28 columns, and 15 pitch
and 17 pitch = 36 columns. Puzzles and kriss-cross
activities are automatically sized before printing.
Automatic sizing eliminates all outside rows and columns
that do not contain letters.
CROSSWORD POWER Page 23
STARTING SQUARE:
The first 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.
PRINTING THE GENERAL HEADING:
If YES is chosen a two line heading will be printed. The
word list topic will be printed on the left side of the
second line. If NO is chosen, the word list topic will
be centered at the top of each printed page. The word
list topic was entered when the word list was created and
can be revised by the selection on the Edit Menu.
AUTOMATICALLY CAPITALIZE PUZZLE LETTERS:
For letters to intersect in a puzzle or kriss-cross, they
must be identical. All letters of the words must be
either all lower or upper case. To quickly change the
case of the words, use the manipulate selection on the
Edit Menu.
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.
USE PUZZLE GRID RECTANGLE:
Selecting YES causes the crossword puzzle to print with
a rectangular shape. All unused letter squares are
filled with the draft, checkered, solid or shading
pattern selected on the printer Settings Menu. If NO
is selected, most of the unused letter squares are not
filled in. The only unused letter squares that are
filled in are ones surround by four used squares.
CROSSWORD POWER Page 24
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.
ALLOW DUPLICATE WORD ENTRY:
Setting to NO prevents you from entering the same word
twice in a word list. For example, you could not enter
Superior twice as one of the Great Lakes. You could
still enter Superior, Michigan, Erie, Huron, and Ontario
as the words, and use the same definition for each of the
five Great Lakes. Setting to YES allows you to put the
same word in twice. A word such as lie, can have two
different meanings.
ACROSS-DOWN LANGUAGE FOR CLUES:
English, French, Spanish, and German translations of
ACROSS and DOWN can be printed with the clues.
USE MARKED WORDS ON ACTIVITIES:
When No is selected, all wordlist words have an equal
chance of being used on an activity. From Complete List
will be displayed in the status line. When Yes is
selected, the Marked words are used to limit which words
are chosen for an activity. The activity will only
include the Marked words if Yes is selected. From Marked
Words will be displayed in the status line. Words are
Marked with the Mark Words selection of the Edit Menu.
SCREEN COLORS:
The screen colors may be changed to your personal
preference, or because the regular colors may be hard to
see on a lap top computer. Up to 127 color combinations
may be used. When this selection is made, a chart
showing the 127 color combinations and their related
numbers is displayed.
The default values for screen colors are listed below.
The first column is for color monitors. The second
column is used for monochrome monitors. You may enter
different numbers from the displayed chart:
CROSSWORD POWER Page 25
Color Monochrome
Normal Screen Color: 023 007
Help Screen Color: 113 007
Pull Down Menu Color: 043 112
Error Color: 079 112
Text Entry Color: 112 007
Menu Selection Color: 007 007
When you have finished entering the color numbers, press
Escape. Then press a number for the mouse cursor color.
The (1-7) number refers to the chart column. For example
4 represents red. Some menu selections deliberately turn
the mouse cursor off to prevent accidental loss of data.
The mouse cursor is turned back on when appropriate.
Then press Y for Yes to save these changes.
WORDLIST FILE LOCATION:
Enter the Drive Letter and subdirectory to contain the
wordlist files. To keep the word lists in the same
directory as the CROSSWORD POWER program files
(recommended), leave this information blank.
PRINTER SELECTION:
The following printers are supported by CROSSWORD POWER.
Most printers can support one or more of these command
sets.
Epson LQ 2500 Series IBM Proprinter
Epson LQ 850 Series IBM Proprinter X24E
Epson FX 850 Series NEC 3550
HP DeskJet Series Okidata
HP LaserJet II Panasonic KX P2123
HP LaserJet III/4 Toshiba P351
The NEC 3550, Okidata, and Toshiba printers only support
the ASCII draft mode. The other printers support ASCII
draft, checkered, and solid fill. Additional printers
may also be supported. If your printer is not listed,
check your printer manual to determine which printer
setting to use.

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 and DeskJet printers based on the pitch setting.
Some DeskJet and LaserJet printers require a memory
cartridge to support 12 pitch printing.
The maximum number of columns that can be printed is
determined by the printer pitch. The maximum number of
columns for a 10 pitch printer setting is 24 columns.
Other maximums are 12 pitch = 28 columns, and 15 pitch
and 17 pitch = 36 columns. Puzzles are automatically
sized before printing. Automatic sizing eliminates all
outside rows and columns that do not contain letters.
CLUE LINES PER INCH:
Normal spacing is 6 lines per inch. Changing to 8 lines
per inch may prevent the activity from printing on more
than one page.
CROSSWORD POWER Page 27
INCREASE LEFT/RIGHT MARGINS:
Normally a one inch margin is left on both the left and
right sides of the page. A number from 0 to 5 can be
entered. This number represents how many tenths of an
inch to increase the margins. Zero keeps the one inch
margins, a 5 increase both margins by 5/10 of an inch.
Sometimes it is necessary to increase the margins so an
activity will print one sheet.
SET PRINTER TO LETTER QUALITY (BOLD):
Depending on the printer, the activities may be printed
in either draft or letter quality mode. Draft mode will
be used if either this setting is set to NO or font
number 9 (draft) is chosen for the Epson LQ or IBM
Proprinter X24E printers.
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 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.
USE WISCO.TMP AS DEFAULT FILENAME:
WISCO.TMP can be used as a common filename. A common
filename conserves disk space, and allows setting up
icons to send a common filename to different printers.
If you decide not to use a common filename, the first
part of the filename uses the same name as the word list.
The extension is added to indicate if the file is a
teacher or student version and a crossword puzzle of
kriss-cross activity.
CROSSWORD POWER Page 28
PRINT EXTRA SPACE:
This setting allows an extra space between the crossword
puzzle and clues and the kriss-cross and word listing.
FILL METHOD <A>SCII, <C>HECKERED, OR <S>OLID
The unused letter squares of the rectangular grid can be
filled with a checkered or solid pattern or plain
characters (ASCII draft). The Toshiba, NEC and Okidata
printers only use the ASCII draft mode. The LaserJet
II/III/4 uses different shading methods to achieve the
checker pattern. To create solid squares on the LaserJet
II/III/4 set the shading to 100%
ASCII FILL CHARACTER NUMBER (32 to 254):
This number represents the ASCII character to fill the
unused letter squares of the puzzle. For example, the
ASCII 035 # results in the number sign. ASCII 219 ███
results in a solid black square. A checker pattern
results from choosing ASCII 176 ░░░ (lightest pattern),
ASCII 177 ▒▒▒ (medium pattern) or 178 ▓▓▓ (darkest
pattern). Consult your DOS manual for other ASCII
numbers and characters.
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.
CROSSWORD POWER Page 29
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
HP LASERJET TYPEFACE NUMBER:
Typeface refers to the unique design of the characters.
These typefaces were included with the LaserJet III:
0=LinePrinter and 3=Courier are fixed pitch. 5=CG Times
and 52=Univers are scalable proportional fonts.
Internal fonts are fonts built into the printers. Most
DeskJets and all LaserJets before the LaserJet III had
only a few Courier and 16.66 (condensed pitch)
lineprinter internal fonts. This was also true of almost
all LaserJet compatibles until quite recently. The
LaserJet III also included a 12 pitch Courier and two
scalable fonts (CG Times and Univers). Scalable fonts
can be used with LaserJet III/4 printers. The scalable
point size will be determined by the pitch selected to
print the activity. Courier 12 and 15 pitch soft fonts
are included with CROSSWORD POWER and are transferred
(downloaded) prior to printing the activities.
EPSONLQ & IBM PROPRINTER X24E FONTS:
Bold must also be set to YES to print these fonts. The
following EpsonLQ, IBM Proprinter X24E, and Panasonic KX-
P2123 fonts are supported:
0. Roman (10,12,15 pitch)
1. Sans Serif (10,12,15 pitch)
2. Courier (10,12,15 pitch)
3. Prestige (10,12,15 pitch)
4. Script (10,12,15 pitch)
