12 month planner
I have been trying to create a 12 month planner. I would like the two sided
kind that I can bind. It is possible to use a planner as a guide, but time is a problem. I would like to just use a template. Thanks |

12 month planner
There are planners here, probably not what you are wanting.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...nner&av=TPL000 What dimensions are you using? You probably could get a reasonably priced planner at a big box store. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Autumnm" wrote in message ...

12 month planner
Sometimes the card stores hand them out free. Even my doctor's office does
that. I can handle the advertising for that cost. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...

12 month planner
nThank you for your repies. I should go into more detail. I work for a non
profit. Our main focus is the homeless and getting them job ready. We get about 25 people coming through our class each week. I thought it would nice to be able to give everyone a planner as part of their job search plan. We can not afford to buy them and can't depend on the free stuff. My only option is to produce something in house.

12 month planner
Do you want a booklet type planner? One month per page? The best calendars for
this would be those in the Design Gallery. They are small and can be resized. Let us know how you want it setup, we will help you figure it out. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Autumnm" wrote in message ... nThank you for your repies.

12 month planner
At this point I am not going to be picky. But idealy I want to use 8 1/2 by
10 and want to be able to fold it like a book, however I have no objection to using legal paper. A yearly format with one month per page would be good, so that our clients would be able to write appointments and contacts down and show them to their Case Manager as prove of job search. I tried to use a template but could not figure which months should go on the flip side of what other months. "Mary Sauer" wrote: Do you want a booklet type planner? One month per page?

12 month planner
When you select booklet in the page setup, Publisher lays out the pages
correctly, you do not have to guess what page is in back of what page. Publisher uses groups of four. Your planner, using all 12 months will probably have 16 pages. What version Publisher are you using? There are some bugs in 2007 that messes with the wizards, especially the Design Gallery objects. (2003 Publisher and below)...The better way is to use the File, new... "Publications for Print" and select the calendar. Change the date range. ImportantAfter all the pages are created, file, page setup, printer tab, select legal, landscape. In page setup select booklet. Publisher will ask about adjusting the pages. Click yes or okay. (This does not work in 2007, all the adjusting will be manual). On page one, Insert, page, type two, pay no attention to the query, click no. Go to the last page of the booklet, insert page, type two again. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Autumnm" wrote in message ...

We can not afford to buy them and can't depend on the free stuff. Aside from that, it's nice (even fun in a way) to design and make something oneself. What I got, thinking of making calendars, but it can be used for anything, is a spiral binder. It isn't the best (it was cheap) but the spirals are cheap, in boxes from Staples, etc. Maybe you could get the paper, or local ad papers to donate free space and ask for supplies like that? I'm thinking cardstock or cover paper and spiral binders, and get it set up in Publisher. I've made myself notebooks, with printer paper, but there was nothing on them (like a calendar). There's also the option of calling around and asking a bank, or big store, or maybe even a printing co to donate them to you. Maybe with their name/logo on the back, and "compliments of". But, if you're like me, you like the idea of making them yourself. Haven't finished reading this thread yet, so if I'm totally off base with this, sorry... ~ Carrie My only option is to produce something in house.

A yearly format with one month per page would be good, so that our clients would be able to write appointments and contacts down and show them to their Case Manager as prove of job search. I tried to use a template but could not figure which months should go on the flip side of what other months. I went through that, too, making a calendar that had pictures (like 2 pages joined in the middle. One picture was on the back of the previous month's dates) I had 24 pages set up, adding a blank page (for the picture) after each month page. I had to write something on the blank pages, and print them out to set it up so the picture for one month came out the right way on the back of the previous month page. I have a printer that prints duplex, too, so that added to the confusion. Once I got it set up right, I saved it, and will use it for any future calendars I make (though the next ones will be 2008 so I'll probably have to do it all over) But, I know what you mean about folding the pages and having them come out right. Once you have it all together you could put a few staples on the folded edges to hole it all together. I' ve made booklets with a front, back and something on the inside pages, but only one sheet of paper in all. Sounds interesting, after you are told how to do it, I might try it just to learn. Thanks for the question, it's an interesting project and good to know. ~ Carrie "Mary Sauer" wrote: Do you want a booklet type planner? One month per page?
