The main toolbar

The toolbar is the array of icons at the top of the program window. By clicking on them with the mouse you can quickly invoke the command they represent. You can hold the mouse cursor over a button for a short time to pop up a hint that tells you what the button does.

Here is a complete description of the top buttons:

   
  Show the New Puzzle window
   
  Open an existing file
   
  Save the crossword
   
  Invoke AutoFind
   
  Fill Automatically from cursor. The drop-down menu links to the Fill Grid window, and (with the Pro Filler), manual word selection or custom-saved fill configurations.
   
  Toggle the typing direction (Across/Down)
   
  Undo last change. Can be used multiple times.
   
  Edit Clue
   
  Review/edit clue list
   
  Edit Square properties

There is also a secondary toolbar below the main one. The Edit, Puzzle and Solution buttons change the grid view. The other buttons are:

   
Moving mouse selects squares
Moving mouse marks key words
Zoom in (view puzzle larger)
Zoom out (view puzzle smaller)
Check the grid
Grid Insight fillability status (red/green/gray icon color) and options

See Editing the Puzzle for more information on undoing and type directions.
