Default Help with a file?

A very kind soul did up an XL2K sheet which is incredibly fabulous. It was
a gift to our group and so I feel I can't go back and ask for more in terms
of what it will generate. This file is really kewl. You enter a quotation,
etc., into the box and it generates a word puzzle called a Quotefall.

The difficulty lies in the solution grid since one has to do it manually and
that is surprisingly time-consuming. Last night, it actually took me 25
minutes to get the letters placed just so because after each time I'd be
part-way through typing in the individual letters for the solution, I'd see
that the placement of the original quotation needed adjusting so would have
to fix the quote and re-generate the puzzle which would mean having to start
all over re-typing in the solution.

Since it so easily generates the puzzle was hoping someone would know how to
fix this file so that a solution grid could also be generated.

I know it is a lot to ask but I know my limitations and this is too far
advanced for me. So I thought I'd ask.

I'm in the process of setting up a website for free Stargate word puzzles
and Quotefalls will be one type that I'll create.

So if anyone is interested in this small challenge, pls go here for the
Excel file.

Solution I did up manually in another 10k GIF file:

This is what I hope can be added to the coding (on another button maybe?) so
that it generates the same puzzle but filled in. In other words, so that it
dumps the same quotation in the boxes that the original puzzle show. Hope
that's clear (?).

Thanks so much in advance for anyone's help. I know it's an imposition but
I don't know anyone who can do this. And I thought someone might get a kick
out of doing this <g.

I'll give full credit at all times to those who helped and who'd like me to
do so. Cheers. :oD
