Saturday Times Jumbo Cryptic 974

[Kapadeka]

i missed 974, when was it printed? How can I get it? I'm on 975 now.

974 was out on Bank Holiday Monday - I'm sorry, I don't have a blank copy to pass on :-(

[Kapadeka]

Thanks for your kind commiserations L-I-K. Too busy cooking to notice! >:(

give me a few minutes - I keep a copy of my completed grid so I just need to blank out all the answers and upload it

hope this is ok for you http://i41.tinypic.com/wgztk9.jpg

Nicely done, b'bub - how do you lose the answers so quickly?

[bibblebub]

I keep a scanned copy (not the newspaper) and I just used paint.net to paint a white rectangle over each of the squares.

[Lie-in King]

Gotcha & ta! I've never worked out how to do it speedily, so I'll get into paint.net with mine & have a go later - is there a special 'function' I should look for?

Apologies to Kapadeka for the extra traffic :-)

[bibblebub]

Select the rectangle tool either from the tools window (using F5 or via the window menu) or from the toolbar button.

Then on the toolbar one can choose between shape outline / filled shape / filled shape with outline, so select the second of those.

With the default colours of black/white one simply uses the right mouse button when drawing the rectangles - or reverse the foreground/background colours and use the left button.

Thanks again b'bub!

[bibblebub]

you're welcome
