Oh that makes me so happy that this was helpful to you! Its absolutely my goal to have resources available so that when someone goes to search for it, it is there for them in the time that they need it 😊 I hope your crossword puzzles do very well in your Etsy store!
This is going to help a lot! My son needs a puzzle for a school project. I am going to attempt it later, I'll come and report then if we succeeded, but I'm sure we will as you explain so very well
Oh my! Yes that would take a long time. I love using the tables in PowerPoint. You can create so many things with them! I'm so glad my video was helpful to you :)
Thank you for all of your videos. Yours are always my 'go-to', as I know I can count on them to be informative, clear, and absolutely the most helpful out there!
I have worked through this entire video, step by step. It took quite some time, being the first time, but it was very helpful - until the end, that is. Then, it just ends abruptly, leaving no clue as to how to finish off to ensure that the puzzle is interactive. My best guess is that it points to another video for the final step, but then one has to make one's way through a long video on creating word puzzles, trying to establish what step might be relevant for the puzzle that one has just created. ???? 😮
Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry the end of your experience with the video was not great, but I'm glad that most of it was helpful for you. 💜 I'll work on updating the video description to make sure the goal of the video is clear. And I'll do the same (and say it) with new videos that I make. 😊
You're welcome! When you save the puzzle as an image you have to make sure the numbers are also selected along with the puzzle. Grouping everything together before saving as an image could help.
Thank you! The answer key is just the puzzle with the words filled in. In minute 9:00, I show you how to add in a text box with the words 'answer key' in a red font to the page you use for the answers. I hope that answers your question :)
If you want to show different puzzles on different screens in PowerPoint, you definitely can show your final product there. I just use it to create the puzzle then convert it to a pdf and print.
May you please tell me why my small numbers don't appear when I save us the crosswords puzzle into a picture? They are only visible in the PowerPoint, but when I save as a picture they are not visible. I sent the chart to the back and it's still same.
Make sure that you select the numbers along with the table/puzzle when you are saving it as a picture. You can try doing 'select all' to ensure that the small numbers are included. If they are not selected, they will not be in the saved picture. Please keep me posted on how it goes for you.
This is really a challenge for me, as I am not very trained in PowerPoint. But I am spending the whole day, and am learning by trial and error, at last I got the delete button on top of the key board

@pennylane7943 It's not an interactive puzzle. It's meant for you to print out.
@@MathBellk5 Ok, thanks. It would have been helpful if that were stated at the beginning.

great video. You did a good job explaining this.
Thank you!
Thank you so much coz of u I make a crossword puzzle but when I inser the images I didn't see the numbers in my puzzle
You're welcome! When you save the puzzle as an image you have to make sure the numbers are also selected along with the puzzle. Grouping everything together before saving as an image could help.
@@MathBellk5 Yaa I did whatever you said and did in the video I also did the same when I save the picture it only show the puzzle without numbers 😔😔
Good day. Such a great video. I cannot seem to find the last step where the answer key is used ? PLEASE HELP
Thank you!
The answer key is just the puzzle with the words filled in. In minute 9:00, I show you how to add in a text box with the words 'answer key' in a red font to the page you use for the answers. I hope that answers your question :)
Great video! Can we present it one by one in PPT? Thank you!!!

Oh, I got it. Thankss@@MathBellk5
great
Thank you :)

I am struggling to insert the text box with the numbers into the spaces?
I managed!
Where is the "Delete" that you press?
This is really a challenge for me, as I am not very trained in PowerPoint. But I am spending the whole day, and am learning by trial and error, at last I got the delete button on top of the key board
That's awesome! I'm so glad that you were able to get it done!✨
How to convert to Microsoft word ?
I'm not sure about that. Are you trying to create a puzzle in Microsoft Word or edit an already created puzzle?
I think u can paste the images on ms word and then write or paste the clues in there
