jazzgirl: to avoid spoiling your Saga crossword in the magazine, you might like to make a photocopy, and fill that in first. You can then make as many alterations as you like!

Thanks for the tip bookbinder.
I live dangerously, always completing crosswords in ink ! I rarely send them in.
Good luck if you send yours in.
