great little program. I just tried the demo and created a 33-word crossword puzzle in about 45 minutes. It works intuitively and smoothly. Great price---I will definitely buy the full version.

bug report concerning the clipping of the last row and column when a grid was exported, and the support I received from the developer was tremendous. Within 24 hours I had a version which incorporated a fix for that very problem. This latest version incorporates some of the suggestions I made at the time. This developer does a great job and is ready, willing and able to support the needs of his registered users. The programme itself, already very good, just keeps getting better.

makes crossword design fun and exciting, and is easy to use. I like the Picture feature, and I like the integration of the Apple Color picker on OS 9.2. I think the program would be great for teaching vocabulary on any subject requiring memorization, from anatomy to microbiology to art history.
