How to make a paper copy of a Samurai or Clueless puzzleStep 0:Download the files "Samurai_Clueless.xls", "Samurai.bmp", "Clueless.bmp", "Samurai_A4.doc" or "Samurai_LETTER.doc", and "Clueless_A4.doc" or "Clueless_LETTER.doc" from
this folder. In this folder you will also find this guide in the file "How to make a paper copy of a Samurai or Clueless puzzle .doc". If you do not fancy my formatting (boarders, colours, font, etc.) of the worksheets Samurai, Explosion and Special in "Samurai_Clueless.xls" then just change it to your liking.
"Samurai_Clueless.xls" has a Custom Document Property (File > Properties > Custom) called Grid1_ULC. It controls where the macro PASTE_SUDOKU_FROM_CLIPBOARD expects cell 1 in grid 1. If you for whatever reason want to move the complete grid so that the first cell in grid 1 is no longer the Excel cell B2, you must change this CDP for the macro to work properly.
Step 1:Select the Sudoku code and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C). Open "Samurai_Clueless.xls" and select the correct worksheet. Paste the Sudoku code into the worksheet (Ctrl+V). Ctrl+V executes an Excel macro which overloads the standard paste in Excel.
Step 2:Screen-shoot the active window ("Samurai_Clueless.xls") by pressing Alt+Print, open an empty Paint window and paste the screenshot into it (Ctrl+V). Using the select tool in Paint, select the 5 or 9 grids (for a Clueless puzzle the 10th grid off to the right is always empty and is already in "Clueless.bmp") and copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl+C).
Step 3:Open "Samurai.bmp" or "Clueless.bmp" and paste in the grids (Ctrl+V). Select the complete picture (Ctrl+A) and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C).
Step 4:Open "Samurai_A4.doc" or "Samurai_LETTER.doc" or "Clueless_A4.doc" or "Clueless_LETTER.doc", select the current Samurai or Clueless picture in the Word-document by left-clicking once on it, and replace it by pasting the new one in the clipboard over it (Ctrl+V). Change the description to whatever you fancy.
Step 5:Print out the Samurai or Clueless puzzle.
