I THANK YOU - for posting this video as if we had little knowledge. I am VERY new to the planner community and do not want to spend any more $$ than I have to do. I am only in the first 3 minutes of your video but wanted to share how much I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge!
I want to come back and tell you thank you! Oh my goodness, I finally have the hang of how to do this now. I have made so many new inserts that fit my Franklin Covey Compact (4.25 x 6.75) planner. I no longer have to wait for a "designer" to get around to making this size for me. It's so easy because I have a base template to always use. Sure, there is a small learning curve but it's totally worth it. I feel so free now! Edit: I am so obsessed with making my own inserts now. 🤣🙃😜
This is legitimately the greatest video I've ever seen. Thank you so much for making one for those of us who truly had no idea and wanted to make our. This is exactly what I was looking for and answered my long list of questions!
YAY !! I have been trying to figure out how to do a month on 2 pages for my Franklin Covey classic for FOREVER and could never get it right. These directions worked liked a charm.... I am doing a happy dance tonight. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!!
Thank you so much I created a 51/2 x 81/2 insert by following what you did and now I can customize my calendar anytime. I did have to figure out my printer but your video is very helpful. You know sometimes people like me need long videos :). Thank you so much for your time.
first timer here, must say thank you for this! you are an original! very helpful, gives me a great understanding of how it can be done. love how real you are, please keep them all like this. you are not a hot mess, lol its really realistic. That is what really happens to us at home and you handle (or correct little mishaps so well), is great to see.
Thank you so much for posting this!! I definitely wanted to have control and customization to my inserts, but I was going CRAZY because I couldn't print them consistently! It was a guessing game until now. Great video :)
This was amazing! Jeez you are one smart cookie for figuring all this out! Good grief....my brain doesn't work that good! Lol!! I would be so confused. I thought it was so cute when your camera fell down that you said " I'm going to call this " hot mess video" lol! You did great. Thank you soooo much for taking the time to share this with us! You are an awesome teacher! Have a wonderful day!! Smiles! Becca
this is so helpful, my printer always jams with smaller paper so i have to use regular letter size and this makes so much more sense now on how to line them all up. thank you!!
this video rocks! love how you have gone back to the basic and can follow right down to the mistakes (cuz ythats all we do!!) I always make mistakes and the videos that are perfect never show you how to fix these.. thanks loads xxx
This is very good. however, for those of us who don't know the WORD program, i had to look at several steps repeatedly and figure out how to do what you were showing. i.e.: @ 4:53 when you made that box to add a title - i finally found that draw table selection....well that's as far as i've gotten so far and am looking forward to learning how to use WORD more efficiently and to get to see more "how-to" videos. thanks for the inspiration!!!
I think you did a good job, I know this is an old video but I think it’s great for the person just starting out!! I personally love word, and I do have more extensive programs but I usually go back to word for things I don’t know
Thank you so much for this, it was so easy to under stand, and I have dyslexia and find it hard to take in instructions, but this was amazing, thank you again, I have just made my first month for me Planer with the help of your video =D
great video. I see that u turn ur printer on and off and you are welcome to do whatever you feel is best ..but something I recently learned in one of my tech classes is that every time you turn your printer on it splashes ink to register ...if you just let it sleep instead you will notice how much ink you save
Thank you Emma..this does help a lot!! I have an a5 size planner and would love to see how you do the sizing for that. This gives me a rough idea..I still get very confused by it all with the sizing. Would love and appreciate an a5 size video in word when you can. Thank you for sharing your videos! ❤
I think you can have adobe print "booklet" and it would help with not having to type in the page numbers in the print dialog. Thanks for the tutorial! Very helpful!
Love this video. I have a question hope you can answer it for me. How can I get it align correctly front and back if I'm doing 5.5 x 8.5, every time I print and use this technique I can't get it to work for me. Thanks :-)
This is amazing! So happy I came across this. Do you have a favorite paper that you use to make inserts? I'm trying to find something thicker than normal printer paper so nothing shows through when I write on it. :)
I'm in the UK... and I know you probably aren't checking comments on old videos (but fingers crossed you are)... can I just choose A5 as the paper size and follow this tutorial? Or is this video for US large paper size cut in half? Thanks
Christina, you can follow all the same steps in order but your dimensions in the table and line sizes will be different since the A5 paper is considerably larger. You may, for instance, add more lines for each day or you may make each line larger ( like those with larger handwriting like). Like she mentioned, you have to play around a little to get it the way you like. One nice thing is that here in the US A5 paper is easily available to purchase. I’ve never heard of the personal size paper she mentions, and that is the planner I use. Have fun designing your inserts!
would you be willing to make a video on verticle inserts? I keep trying but every time I print them they don't print lined up right on in th back so when I cut them they are jacked!
Hey there, Emma! My top line keeps getting cut off. I think the margin might be wrong, but when I change it it shifts the whole thing. Got any advice? Thanks!
Alyssa Freeman I put my top margin at .5 and it looked just like on the video. I;m sure if that's right. i;m taking the video one step at a time as we speak and this is as far as i've gotten.
Great information! However, the tutorial part was too fast. Perhaps clearer instructions would make this an even better video. I am completely new to this and can tell you - I got lost which was frustrating because clearly you have the knowledge. I found myself pausing A LOT.
I love your videos I have just gotten my 2nd planner and put a new and improved video up tonight! If you get a chance please check it out it's kinda long but I did a haul with it as well. You said that you were part of a Planner group how can I get involved in that one or do you have a list of where I can get involved in a Planner Group?
Seems like a lot of hassle just to save a few $$? Wouldn't it be quicker just to use templates? philofaxy.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/filofax-templates.html
Melody Paul it under the layout section: TOOLS, LAYOUT, DRAW, DRAW TABLE. I had to watch several times to find it too. " i.e.: @ 4:53 when you made that box to add a title - i finally found that draw table selection..."
The fact that you took the time to make this and are willing to share your knowledge with others...thank you very much!

Thank you for letting me know. Would I keep the margins the same as you did for the personal size?
thank you so much for your efforts!!! very helpful video!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make the video! I think I'm going to order them, though. LOL Still so complicated for me.
This was seriously so helpful! Thank you so so much x
I appreciate your time and your video, thank you so much! :)
Thank you! This helped alot! Also we have the same paper cutter! :D

In the video she mentioned saving it as a PDF because when you print in PDF it will center everything automatically. Hope this helps
Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you so much what a useful video will have to give this a go, xxx
just came across you video. I'm from the UK. I'm going to have a go doing this...wish me luck
Yes it's long, but you did this for a newbie like me so it was helpful.
Hi. Great info, but you can tell Word to print pages in reverse as well as double sided offset for “books”.
Super video!! Thank you!!
This is amazing! So happy I came across this. Do you have a favorite paper that you use to make inserts? I'm trying to find something thicker than normal printer paper so nothing shows through when I write on it. :)
Thank you so much.. You made it fun... 😊😊
That was a great video, thank you!
It sure did Emma! Thanks for the tutorial! @ Plannerlicious
So glad I found you! Do you use regular printer paper? Or is there a certain paper I need to purchase? Thank you.
Thank you for explaining it :)
I would love to see how to make an annual calendar on one page fit on personal sized paper
Thank you so much for this tutorial

When printing the small sheets of paper where do you insert in the printer? Directly in the middle or towards either side ?
Thank you this was great!!!!!
I start watching the first five minutes of the video and realize it's 50 minutes 👋🏽✌🏽️😁🙂😋
lol Me too!
can you please do a full tutorial on resizing image for personal.mini Happy planner etc thank you
would you be willing to make a video on verticle inserts? I keep trying but every time I print them they don't print lined up right on in th back so when I cut them they are jacked!

Alyssa Freeman I put my top margin at .5 and it looked just like on the video. I;m sure if that's right. i;m taking the video one step at a time as we speak and this is as far as i've gotten.
Alyssa Freeman nope. had to go back to the top page margin at .25.
thank u lol love the video
You are totally a goddess! Will let you know how it goes for me
If your printer will print in A5, I would just make the templates the in A5, cut the paper to A5 size, and print
I have the same series printer!!!! I wonder why I am having issues...
yes.. as usual.
what version of Word are you using?
What do you do if you only have A4 paper to print on.
can you make a walkthrough for pocket size??
Where do you order personal size print paper
Is that a CLEAR planner *----*?!?!?
Great information! However, the tutorial part was too fast. Perhaps clearer instructions would make this an even better video. I am completely new to this and can tell you - I got lost which was frustrating because clearly you have the knowledge. I found myself pausing A LOT.
Can u do a tutorial on how to make a5 inserts day on two pages
urghh I can't find out how to mirror pages on pages on my mac :(

I love your videos I have just gotten my 2nd planner and put a new and improved video up tonight! If you get a chance please check it out it's kinda long but I did a haul with it as well.

Seems like a lot of hassle just to save a few $$? Wouldn't it be quicker just to use templates? philofaxy.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/filofax-templates.html
BTW, it's pronounced ep-IC (epoch).
Too many Ummms...
how did you add the title bar??
Melody Paul it under the layout section: TOOLS, LAYOUT, DRAW, DRAW TABLE. I had to watch several times to find it too. " i.e.: @ 4:53 when you made that box to add a title - i finally found that draw table selection..."
