How to Make a Maze Using a Word Processor

Launch your word processor and create a new document.

Create a table. Click on the "Table" menu and select "Insert", then "Table...".

Set the number of columns and number of rows to "20" each.

Choose a fixed column width of "0.2" inches and click on "Ok". Otherwise, resize the table's width to make the cells square.

Highlight boxes to make a path.

Merge these cells by right-clicking on the selection and choosing "Merge Cells". You'll only be able to merge cells within one column or one row at a time.

Remove borders from your paths to join them. Select a path you made where you need to open one or more sides.Make a Maze Using a Word Processor Step 7Bullet1.jpg Right click on it and select "Borders and Shading".Make a Maze Using a Word Processor Step 7Bullet2.jpg Click on lines in the "Preview" area to toggle any side border on and off.Make a Maze Using a Word Processor Step 7Bullet3.jpg
