	If you want add an item, enter it here, then press the Enter or Return key on the keyboard. If you want to add many items quickly, (for example by pasting items from another program), you can use the Add Multiple Items... option on the Edit menu. This displays this dialog box: Enter items, one per line, in the field provided. If you wish to paste text from another program, while the caret is in the entry space, press Ctrl+V. You can use this feature to paste from a word processor or spreadsheet. In fact, this feature works particularly well with spreadsheets such as Excel or OpenOffice.org's Calc, as you can simply highlight and Copy a column of items in the spreadsheet, and then paste it here. You can also read a text file in using the Load File... button. Click Cancel if you wish to close the dialog without adding any of the items that you have entered. Click Add to add the items from the dialog box. If some of the items that you have entered can not be added (for example: if they contain too many characters or are duplicates), you will be told alerted to that fact, but given the option to add the remaining items.
	This area shows a list of items that you have added so far, as well as a count of the number of items. You can use the scrollbar to move through the items if there are more than will fit on the screen. If you wish to copy the current list of items to the Clipboard (for example to paste into another program such as a word processor or spreadsheet), select the Edit dropdown menu, then select the Copy submenu, and then select Word List. You can delete an item by selecting it, and then using the Delete Item option on the Edit menu. You can delete all the items using Delete All Items... on the Edit menu. You can sort the items into order using Sort on the Edit menu. The items will then be sorted alphabetically.
	The Card Size option allows you to choose the size of word search puzzle that you wish to generate. Sizes range from a minimum of 5 x 5 up to a maximum of 40 x 40.
	The Update Puzzle option will generate a new word search puzzle based on the current word list. If you edit the word list (or change the size, shape or word directions) then the puzzle will be updated automatically - you do not need to manually update this puzzle. The Update Puzzle option is there in case you either don't like the current puzzle, or simply want to generate a new one. Selecting Update Puzzle on the Puzzle menu (or pressing the F5 key) has the same effect as clicking this button.
	This area shows a preview of the current puzzle or solution. Please note: In the event that the word list contains no items, the preview will not be shown. If the puzzle is not large enough to accommodate all the words in the word list, or other similar problems, a message explaining the situation and what you should do to correct the problem will be displayed in this area instead of a preview. You can choose which one that you want to view using options on the View menu: Click the View dropdown, select Preview and then Puzzle if you wish to preview the current puzzle. Click the View dropdown, select Preview and then Solution if you wish to preview the solution for current puzzle.
