Teachers, Publishers & Enthusiasts: Put More Pizzazz Into Your Puzzles

BOUNTIFUL, UTAH -- July 5, 1995 -- Insight Software Solutions today
announced the release of version 2.0 of their popular Windows puzzle
programs. The Crossword Construction Kit and the Word Search Construction
Kit, innovative with their unique feature of creating puzzles in fun
shapes, now offer even more flexibility and features.

New features include importing and exporting of puzzles and of puzzle
shapes, selecting portions of the puzzle to print, metafile creation,
color printing, margin selection, bonus question, 1 or 2 page printout and
others.

"Our goal is to take an already fun concept and make it even more fun and
interesting using unique and flexible features in a software package."
said Michael D. Jones, President of Insight Software Solutions. "By doing
so, we aim to please publishers, teachers, students and puzzle fans who
typically can put such a product to good use."

Both programs now support the ability to import and export puzzle shapes
making it possible to share your shapes with friends and associates or
between the two programs. And both programs can now import and export
their respective puzzles allowing for sharing among associates or for
storing infrequently used puzzles.

Now you can selectively print only the portions of the puzzle you wish to
print. This includes a puzzle title, actual puzzle, word list (for both
crossword and word search), clues (for crossword) and a new bonus
question. The bonus question allows a teacher to add a related question
for extra credit or can be used for anything such as credentials for the
puzzle author.

Different fonts including the color can now be selected for each area of
the puzzle. In addition, top and left margins may be specified and puzzles
can be saved as metafiles to allow importing into desktop publishers.

Crosswords now allows creation of skeleton puzzles (no filled boxes) or the
selection of any color/shading of the filled boxes. Across and Down clues
can now be set to run contiguous or in their own separate areas as well as
the option to place them on their own page. And the "Across" and "Down"
labels can be renamed to create puzzles in a foreign language.

Word Search now allows you to specify the number of columns to place the
word list in as well as the option to place them on their own page. And to
add additional difficulty and fun for the puzzle solver, words can now be
scrambled or only parts of the words can be shown by specifying the number
of beginning and ending letters of each word to show.

Both programs require Windows 3.1 or greater, a VGA monitor with a
recommended 4 MB of Ram. Initial hard disk space required is under 1 MB.

The price of the each program is $18.00 plus $2.00 shipping and handling
and may be obtained directly from Insight Software Solutions, P.O. Box
