Depending on your font size, font style, and what suits your eye, you may need different values. I changed the Height and Width of all of my rows and columns to 0.25″. I highlighted the entire table (but not beyond the table) and clicked the Layout tab on the top of the screen. The default table has unequal column width and row height, so I adjusted this. If you need a smaller or larger table, you can easily insert or delete rows/columns as needed. My table has 18 rows and 18 columns, but you should pick the size that suits your table. Next, I inserted a table in Microsoft Word using Insert > Table > Insert Table. I made a list of words that relate to books, like “Kindle” and “poem.” The first thing I did was come up with a list of related words. Beware that many Word to PDF converters don’t have this capability, so find out what you have access to before working with a bunch of small files. You can also separate the book into several smaller files and combine them together into a single PDF if you have access to Adobe Acrobat DC (not to be confused with the free Adobe Reader). For a book, if you can convert the tables individually into high-quality JPEGS (300 DPI) and insert these into Word (after researching the tricks to avoid having the pictures compressed), the file will be much more manageable. But a Word file with dozens of tables becomes a complex file prone to being slow to work with and becoming corrupt. If you’re trying to make a book, Excel can cause trouble trying to get predictable and consistent page margins, page headers, etc. Word has a few formatting issues (like line spacing and cell margins) that can be problematic for the table, but I’ll show you how to deal with them.But you can still get them close enough that it doesn’t matter. The numerical measures for these values in Excel can be confusing, and unless you research what they mean you need to eyeball it. Word lets you enter the width of the columns and the height of the rows in inches so that you know they are exactly the same.I will focus specifically on Word for Windows, though Excel is very similar. I will show you how to make a word search puzzle in Microsoft Word or Excel. Later, I will also show you how I made the puzzle. I made a word search puzzle for anyone who appreciates books.
