Printing a standard grid with black squares instead of an outline
EclipseCrossword normally prints a thick outline of the puzzle instead of a standard full puzzle grid with lots of black squares. This saves ink, and creates a generally more attractive result. However, if you prefer the normal newspaper style, you can print your crosswords like that too.


- Open a puzzle you want to print in EclipseCrossword. (How?)
- Click Options in the lower-left corner of the EclipseCrossword window.
- Click the Printing tab at the top.
- Clear the checkbox next to Print an outline instead of filling in unused squares.
- Click OK on the options dialog to save your changes.

This also affects pictures of your crossword grid that you save for use with word processing software.
Tip: You can also change the darkness of the outline or filled-in squares.
