OK, I've been searching for some time for general templates to use with Word 2000, so I can produce Filofax-sized pages, but here's the rub: The only templates or even software I can find are all geared to making diary pages. This is not - say again not - what I want. Guess I'm difficult, different, or just plain darn awkward and stubborn, but this is my last port of call before my temper - and possibly the PC - goes out the window in disgust, and I start to bang rocks together like a caveman, drooling and yelling " Wibble!" as I do so.

Ahem.

Anyhow, here's the problem. I want to make a series of aide memoirs and forms for my colleagues; I'm in the bus industry over here in the UK, and while the normal "point books" (the long folders you see British bus controllers writing in) that we use are fine and dandy, they're a royal pain in the butt size-wise: They just will not fit into a pocket, they're long and cumbersome, and frankly I'd love to be shot of them - add to this the folders, being from a single supplier, are damned expensive, and I'd love to be able to tell them to go away (in a rather blunt manner) as they're charging well over the odds for them.

So, I want to make Filofax Personal-sized Aide Memoires (171mm x 95mm, or 6 3/4 x 3 3/4), schedule charts (NOT diary pages, I'm on about timetables and similar), and so on, for my colleagues. It'll help reduce costs, increase what we can print for them, and increase our options no end. In addition, there are plenty of other page inserts available, such as note paper, diaries, and so on, and if we could issue this instead of the existing stuff, well, you get the idea.

Snag is that in order to do this, I need a general Filofax Personal-sized template that won't resize itself at a whim, is easily printed off onto A4 paper ready to be cut to size and hole-punched, and which can be used to make double-sided pages. I will freely admit that I've tried and failed completely to make such a template, and need help rapidly - or even someone to come along and make or provide such a template.

You see, I hope, the problem.

Any takers on this right royal pain in the posterior problem?

Thanks in advance,

Roger
