You can view and edit clues by clicking on the toolbar button (
), selecting Review Clues... from the Clue menu, or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R. The clues are shown in a scrollable list, with the clue number at the left, and the solution to the right. The window can be left open as you work on the puzzle and will automatically update as you change the grid or clues.
For more powerful editing features, including clue database lookup, double-click on a clue and the Clue Editor will appear.
If there are incomplete words in the puzzle the solution appears with question marks for the missing letters (you can only edit clues for complete words). If a solution word is shown in red it indicates a material difference between the word in the grid and the word being clued.
You can spell-check the clues by pressing F7 or clicking the tick button on the toolbar. For each word that the spell-check finds you can type in a replacement, ignore it or add it to the word list. Set the word list to use for spell checking in the List Usage box, which you can view by clicking the Options... button on the spell-check window.
To auto-generate all missing clues, use the Clue Generator button on the toolbar (
). You can also generate possible new (or replacement) clues for a particular word by selecting Generate clues... from the right-click menu (Ctrl+G).
Hold the mouse over the solution word to pop up a hint showing any explanation/citation/URL for that clue. If the clue has a URL hint the number will be underlined - you can click on it to test-open the URL. Double click to open the Clue Editor to edit the explanation/citation/URL.
It is a good idea to review the clues before you Print them to check you haven't missed any clues, or that any words are incomplete. It also makes a convenient way quickly to edit the clues if you don't need all the features of the clue editor.
You can resize the Review Clues window to better fit your screen by dragging the bottom right-hand corner with the mouse. It will remember the size you set.
Right click on an answer word for options for changing the capitalization. To show all the answers in upper case select the setting under Options.
The Review Options settings icon on the right of the Review/Edit clues toolbar allows you to customize what is shown. If you wish to Show clue explanations/citation below each solution word, you can choose to show them only When set, or Always (so, for example, you can easily enter new explanations/citations in the review window rather than having to open Edit Clue). The color can be changed to clearly distinguish them from the solution words.
The layout and formatting of the clues and answers is determined by the settings for the current grid, in particular your Clue Properties settings (which you can change by clicking the properties icon on the Review/Edit Clues toolbar). Review Options can be used to specify some specific fixed settings for the Review/Edit window if you prefer: a fixed wide vertical clue spacing, and/or you can change the Font size (e.g. to make it larger for easier viewing).
