'fraid not. You'd need to print it out and do it like a regular crossword. If you're determined to go the digital route, you could try reconstructing it in a crossword builder like sympathy. You could also try doing it in a spreadsheet. Finally, how about playing around with the scrabble font? |

Print size is set at about 4 inches, which is on the large side, but not really huge. If it won't fit on a page, then its a problem with your print setup, I'm afraid. If you have an "image dpi" parameter available, try setting that to 96 or 120. |
