Neilm1, welcome to the Forum. The advice given by Chrise in Post 14 is very helpful.
In addition to this advice, I've just bumped the "Posting Guidelines" and "Duplicate Threads" threads which I think will help to show you how the Forum operates.
In common with an earlier post I am getting confused about what exactly is a new thread. Does it refer to a specific crossword or a clue in that crossword in which threads are already running. I have just posted one which stands out like a sore thumb. Anyway the problem is 7 down Cook did leg exercises G-i---e. Thanks in anticipation
