Below I have included the simple text files that the Across-Lite software
uses to create the "puz" files that it needs to run.

Instructions for Downloading "TEXT" files:

    1. Click on the text file corresponding to the crossword puzzle number
        you want to download (they are at the bottom of this page)        

    2. Go to the top left-hand corner of the screen and click on the word "FILE" then click on the
        words "SAVE AS" and save the file as a "text" file.

    3.CAUTION: make sure that you save the text file in the proper Across Lite folder -
        for most people this will be found on your hard drive in the Programs folder on "C" drive
        it should be saved in -  C:/program files/litsoft/Across Lite/puzzles
        This is the folder that the Across Lite software looks for puzzles to play

    4. After you have successfully downloaded the text file into the proper folder then you
        can open the Across Lite program
    5. Once the Across Lite program is opened you will see a box with "OPEN" on it - this
        is the folder where the software keeps all the "puz" files and the text files.
        At the bottom of the "OPEN" box there is the words "files of type" with a drop down
        menu - from that menu chose "TEXT" files or "ALL FILES"
        Click on the file that you just downloaded and the software will automatically make it
        into a crossword puzzle to play - then save it immediately as a "puz" file.
