Hi!
I use www.puzzle-maker.com. Then I just copy + paste the crossword in a Word document, insert two text boxes under it and copy + paste the clues in them. You may need to adjust the size of the puzzle a bit in your document. Experiment with it a bit - you �ll get the hang of it
P.S.: You may want to check out this forum thread as well for more suggestions.
Good luck!

There is a free software for making crosswords:
ECLIPSE CROSSWORD http://www.eclipsecrossword.com/
It works with lists of vocabulary you have already created. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMQqwlJ0e78
Just convert the excell tables or word documents into a plain text in this way:
apple, teacher �s favourite fruit
banana, monkey �s favourite fruit
etc.
The crossword is editable in MS Word and it provides the clues and the key.
When you have the crossword in Eclipse Crossword software, save the crossword and go the the TAB "Publish Crossword", click on Exporting the puzzle grid: "Windows metafile (WMF)", give it a name and save it.
You may IMPORT long lists of vocabulary you already have.
Copy the
list to plain Text Editor and then into a blank Word document.
Now you have a plain list of English words followed by a "tab space" and clues.
Now go to "Find and Replace" CTRL+H
and fill in:
Find: "^t"
Replace by: ": "
click on "Replace all"
Save your new Wordlist as a plain text. (txt file)
