I can see you using Excel for this. Formulas could be built in to
disallow a
repeated number. I don't know how one makes a puzzle hard vs easy tho. I
just know that if there's no challenge in them, I don't enjoy it.
(And I've also had netizens pull my bacon out of the fire. And I've had
MVPs
help me with issues that I just couldn't figure out on my own. Excel is
my
latest struggle. I'm a formula noobie.)

Hi JoAnn,
That goes on all of my posts. It's my usual sig file.
I didn't realize that. I figured, if you took the time to post it,
courtesy required me to respond.
You'd be surprised how many people post things that basically say
"It's
broke - fix it!"
I've seen it often enough. Newsgroups are an alien world to
newcomers. They don't have a clue about our language and customs.
My adult daughter, who knows little more technology than typing a
letter in Word and responding to friends' emails, asks regularly
what's new with me. I tell her, in more detail than she really can
absorb, how netizens once again pulled my bacon out of the fire. I
relate repeatedly how one needs to develop specific communication
skills to realize the great benefit of the internet. She listens
because she loves her father, but you'll never see her on newsgroups.
It was not done specifically for you - honest.
No problem, really. I recognized the validity of your admonition.
My brevity arose from my belief that if Word offered the facility I
sought, it would be true of all versions Word/Windows.
Nevertheless, it was reasonable for you to offer me such advice in
case I was in need of it.
About, Sudoku: I'm going to try to use Prolog (
http://www.swi-
prolog.org/) initially to generate all solutions, if any, to a
variety of published puzzles ... after I, hopefully, had solved them
manually. I just wanted Word for simple but pretty data entry, and
I've got that now.
Again, best wishes,
Richard

Hi JoAnn,
Thanks for your response.
Re: Office Suite vs. Word Program, I agree about the
distinction,
but I've never seen an Office suite that didn't include Word.
Some
excluced Publisher and FrontPage, but AFIK, all included word.
Nevertheless, I'll say Word in the future
Re: Sudoku, I don't plan to be a publisher. My interest in
those
occasional "hard" ones in the Washington Post defy solution
without
trial and error, despite my clever techniques. So I decided to
program a solver that employs my techniques to make sure my
failures
were not simply my misapplication. For that small group, I've
got
to
invent an additional technique.
This won't bring about World Peace nor abolish Famine and
Disease,
but it'll make me happy.
Best wishes,
Richard
I see that Beth was able to help you and that's great. I'd like
to
help
you
with one little thing for future questions - Office Is not a
program.
It's a
collection of programs. Word, Excel, etc are programs and by
specifying
that
as well as the version (2003, 2007, etc), you'll be helping
those
who
want
to help.
Now go make some killer Sudoku puzzles. And if you publish them,
let
me
know. I always carry a book with me. But no easy ones allowed.

Hi,
I just created a table of 9x9 uniform cells that fill my
displayed
page. I globally set the alignment to "center", both
horizontally
and
vertically, along with a font size of "24".
So far, so good. But when I tried to use Format/Borders to
set
two
of
the interior borders to a larger width, I always wound up
killing
other borders. Can I achieve this in Word/Tables or do I
have
to
go
to HTML?
TIA,
Richard
