Bingo Boards in MS office

Ponine · 02-10-2005, 09:22 AM

Hey all my fellow tech heads...
Does anyone remember how to make Bingo Boards in MS office?
It seems to me that I have either done it in the past or seen it done; however I cannot remember if it was in Excel or Access, and I cant seem to remember how..
Do you?

*If you want to know why, I was hoping to make Valentine Bingo for my son's first grade class on Monday if I can remember how. *

I should clarify. I can make the board it self. What I seem to remember is being able to randomize what is placed into the squares so that I can make a "board" with twenty different squares for each child.
As to say, so that every board doesnt have the same squares in the same spot.

Do it in Excel. You can stretch the fields to make boxes, and then select a 25-box area, click the icon to define borders and select the option that has it show all the borders.

I had forgotten that I could select the boxes and tell it to show all the borders at once, i was doing it box by box.
Than makes me feel better.

I used this to make cards for Bailey's class! You just put in your own words and it even adds the free space and everyone's card is different.

I used holiday related words and we're going to use the conversation hearts to mark the squares!

I just made a card, then printed it...shuffled the words...printed!

It was a little time consuming...but easier than making different cards!
