Unbelievably helpful Christine! Not only did you answer my question about hyperlinks, you also visually demonstrated a few other techniques I had been wondering about. I can’t thank you enough. Your videos have been SO incredibly helpful…and inspirational. I just love the way you CLEARLY demonstrate PRACTICAL stuff that almost no one else covers! Your videos totally got me off the fence in terms of deciding to go ahead with the planner ideas I have for my Etsy shop. Again, THANK YOU!
I love this so much! This is exactly why I create these tutorials. I remember when it was all new to me. Having a good demonstration makes all the difference. 😊
For those of us who are primarily ‘visual’ learners, there’s simply NO substitute for a good demonstration…and you really do an excellent job of explaining things. I hope you’ll continue making these tutorials…I’m sure I’m not the only one finding huge value in them!
This was soo good! I was following along on my Mac and while some of the things are a little different it was still so easy to follow! I’m such a hands on learner so I followed along to get the hang of it! Thank you for explaining and showing things with such ease!
Christine, I love your tutorials, very helpful, well laid out and I got it, I finally got it! Plus I learned a lot more that I’m able to do on the iPad! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! Your tutorial was amazing. I wish i would have found it at the beginning of the week. I spent the entire week trying to find a planner that had exactly what i wanted and I never did. So now I am venturing down the path of “do it yourself”.
Christine that video was amazing, big thanks !!!! I was watching other videos where young girls have done the video so fast that I was unable to follow them .... and at the end I only had a headache lol. Your speed was ideal for myself , great explanation on how to do the planner from scratches.
This is the best video that I have come across. You literally walk us through step by step. I finished mine today! I am so proud of myself. I am now looking for your video on how to create a cover for the digital planner. Thank you so much for making this video.
your work is so great. thanks for the many tips. you are such a professional with the ipad and pages. i can learn so much from you Greetings from Germany Hans-Peter
Thank you so much you’ve helped me a lot. I do have one question though so you now how we made links for the months we did it on the edit in keynote once you get out of the edit you can’t click on the link so will I have to go back and redo all the monthly links for each page? Time stamp 46:00 min
We created the links in the Master Slides (Edit Slide Layout). That's why when you're out of the master slides and in the main part of the presentation you can't click on those links. However, when you export the entire presentation as a pdf, the links will be there and will work.
Thank you! I started trying to make my planner last fall. Unbeknownst to me I was sick & getting worse. Planner crashed. Tried multiple times. Even when not feeling well, I was soooo close. Your directions are great. My brain just kept missing something. So now that I’m well, tried a couple times. I’ve listened to your video a hundred times & Saturday it clicked & I finally heard what you were saying on ONE step … & drumroll please … I have a beautiful, functioning, links working, very cool journal (instead of planner). Thank you for you wonderful video!!!
Thank you for this great tutorial!! I am wondering though, do you know if using the master slides has something to do with your smaller file size? I notice that your images are each greater than 1.5 MB which would mean something like 300MB+ total but when you export its sooo small. I have done something similar but loaded each image individually and my file size is still large.
Did you follow the tutorial exactly? Exporting the images and then bringing into the master slides? If not, try doing that and see if your file size is smaller.
Thanks so much for going over this. I've had such a difficult time figuring out how others are able to create hundreds of pages for digital planners without having file size issues and almost gave up on it.
So far the best video on how to create digital planner using keynote! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! ❤❤ This may be a stupid question but the monthly hyperlinking a bit confusing. why do you add the monthly hyperlink in the master slide? can we use the same technique as adding the weekly and daily? again thank you thank youu
Wish I had found this a week ago would have made my life a WHOLE lot easier. Back to the drawing board… well master slides… and doing it this way. THANK YOU!
Since there are 12 months, and therefore 12 monthly budgets, what I do is, I create a page called Monthly Budget. I link that page to the tab, and then on the Monthly Budget page I list all the months of the year. Then I create a link from those month names to the actual budget for that month. I typically also create a link to the monthly budgets from the monthly spread for that month, that way you can access the monthly budget from 2 places. Does that make sense?
Thanks Christine - great share - I was thinking can this be done in excel or mac equivalent? Tested creating hyperlinks in excel, exported to PDF, no go - slides would work, perhaps I can paste with links from excel to slides / keynote, that keeps links. Might be faster
Thank you for your AMAZING tutorials! They’re super helpful! 😁 I do have a question: for portrait planners, what do you recommend for the size of the templates that you turn into JPEG before adding to the planner? I’m using a template that isn’t exactly the size of my screen (iPad 9th gen). I have tried exporting the template size as well as my screen size and they both seem to come out blurry 🙃 how would you fix that?
I'm so glad you found it helpful! As far as portrait planners, did you create your template presentation using the dimensions 1620 x 2160? If you imported a Canva image into that presentation, and then exported it, there's no guarantee it won't be blurry because the dimensions of the Canva image were probably too small. When you initially create it in Canva, do you go to Create a design and then choose Custom size and then put in 1620 x 2160? If you do that, and then download it, the image should be clear. Please let me know if that makes a difference.
@@PlannersbyChristine I've actually been designing everything in Keynote! Do the dimensions you mentioned work for Keynote as well (just like you did in your tutorial?)
@@PlannersbyChristine Great, thanks so much! Now do you recommend the actual planner size being 1620 x 2160 as well? The planner builder template i mentioned is in 1668 x 2095, so slightly smaller than my screen size
I don't know if you watched my entire tutorial, but for the actual planner I recommend you use 4:3 (or 3:4 for portrait). This will allow the highlighter pen to work properly. Otherwise when you use it, the widest highlighter won't be very wide.
So as I followed these steps, I noticed I have SIGNIFICANTLY less options under the 3 dots you show in approximately 1:07. It is not giving me the option for “document set up”
Apple changed where the document set up is in one of their updates. This brief tutorial shows you where it is now. th-cam.com/video/1-lfHA-PYBE/w-d-xo.html
hi, i like your tutorial videos! They really explained very clear. But I have a question. How you keep the right sidebar, the paint brush button to stay on the right. I keep need to press it every time i need to edit smtg and it block my right side page view. Please help. Or is the stay on right side bar is feature only on ipad pro?
Christine, thank you for this tutorial! This has allowed me to make a planner to suit my needs which is something I’ve had a problem finding. Thank you for teaching it step by step! I have a question though. With a new year approaching, could you do a video showing how to ‘duplicate’ this for a new year without having to recreate all the pages and especially all the links? I would love to be able to ‘copy and paste’ a new year planner without the initial work. Is there a way to do this?
I'm glad you've found it helpful! I have it on my list of videos to create to show how to do this, but basically I would go into each monthly spread and drag the squares with the links to the proper place in the new calendar. That way you don't lose the link you've already created. You'd need to go through all the daily pages and change or remove the wrong year though (assuming you put it there in the first place.)
Thank you so much! I’ve been beating my head in canva because my file is too big to finish. I’m going to delete my linkable text, save as jpeg and upload to keynote to finish duplicating pages and hyperlinking.
Without seeing exactly what you did, it's difficult for me to tell you what to do, but if you used master slides for your daily and weekly pages, etc, you could import your flattened images into your master slides. Then delete the original masters. When you delete them, Keynote will ask you which slide to use instead to replace the slide you're deleting. Choose the flattened master slide you brought in. Now, before doing this, you should make a copy of your Keynote file and make changes on that. That way, if anything goes wrong, you'll still have an unchanged file.
I haven't tried making a planner in Canva, but I would think it would work the same. The difference is, instead of importing the images from the template presentation, you would import the ones you made in Canva. Now, I don't know what the image quality would be, but using Canva to create a planner is on my to do list, so I'll experiment and find out.
I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but anything you want to link, you just have to have something to link it to. In other words, you would link to text field that has 30 in it. If the 30 is from a master slide and there's nothing to link to on your main slide, then you would put a square over the 30 and choose "No fill" which makes the square invisible. You would link to that. Does that make sense? If not, maybe you can tell me more about what you mean.
On one of the slides where we put the boxes over the months and we put the number 30 in it- what are we to do with those? Do we have to link it to something? Thanks
I think I know what you're talking about. On the weekly spread I put a 30 above all the days of the week. That was a placeholder for the dates. So, you would put the actual date of that day of the week. You don't have to do that though. You could leave those boxes blank and write in the actual date when you're doing your planning that week. Does that make sense?
When you're in a presentation in Keynote, click on the three dots in the top right corner, then Settings. Scroll down and under Apple Pencil, toggle on Select and Scroll.
The number 30 are placeholders where you'll change the 30 to the actual date. I didn't show that in the tutorial. In this tutorial I didn't link anything to it, it's simply showing that date for that day in the weekly slide.
Hii, I really hope you’re still answering to the comments in this video. The tutorial is perfectly clear and I’ve followed all the steps up to the linking part. Is there an easier and faster way to do it? Cause scrolling down every time is pretty unnerving😅 I heard u suggest using the laptop, but I’ve got windows and not a Mac, so I cannot use keynote
The only fast way I know of is to use my laptop. The way I do it there is, I click on the square where I want to create the link and use the hotkey Cmd+k. That brings up a screen where I can type in the number of the slide I want to link to rather than having to scroll to it.
Hi! I have seen people making note templates which lets them to write on a dotted page or a lined page. Is there a way to do that without changing the current page user is on? Like i write things on that page but i want to change the note template to lined to dotted without losing my texts on the page
You'll need to put the correct date on every slide so that when you click on the date in the monthly spread it will have the correct, corresponding date on the daily spread. It's time consuming but there aren't shortcuts.
If you watch the video at about the 17 minute mark it shows how to change the width of the boxes. If you mean the width of an individual line, you select the row in the table then go to the paintbrush > Cell > Cell Border > and use the plus and minus to change the width of the border. Now, remember that you need to make these changes in the template presentation, then you export as an image and reimport into your main presentation. Go the the 39 minute mark to see how I went back and made a change to a slide.
This was excellent information. The thing I'm so confused about is the different files. Which one is the main and which one is the flattened file or the Master...I'm lost when it comes to that, or which file has the hyperlinks
The first file you create (template presentation) is the one with all the layers that you flatten (Export as images). The second file you create is where you import those images into the master slides and create all your links. Does that make sense? Please let me know if you have further questions.
@@PlannersbyChristine Thank you! This helps! Being new to the digital planners, I’m trying to figure out all the steps. I going back to watch all your tutorials. THANK YOU!
@@PlannersbyChristine I have a question. How come when you added tab name and tab link to master slide then it copied to all 12 months to all 56 weeks and to all 364 days
I'm sorry if it's confusing. The first presentation you make is the one where you create the pretty layout with all the layers. Then you export the images before importing them into the second presentation. The reason I do it that way is so that when I create the pdf file, it will be small. Does that make sense? If not, I suggest watching the video again and see if it makes more sense the second time.
I’m having a bit of trouble. Your video is so thorough and well made, I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I create my background under the higher custom iPad resolution/size as you did, 2360x1640 for my iPad Air and export as image to files. Then when I try to import it under 4:3 and zoom in it’s still blurry, though I know you said to select 4:3 so it is not blurry. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? I should add, I’m flipping the numbers (1640 for width, and 2360 for height) because I want portrait, so I’m selecting 3:4 but I figured it would work out to be the same. Not sure though! lol
Hmm. Not sure why it's coming out blurry. One thing to check is, when you choose to Export > PDF, scroll down and make sure Best is selected for Image Quality.
Thanks for another excellent tutorial, Christine 👍🏻 I frequently recommend your channel on Facebook ☺️ I started a planner last year but I’ve been poorly for a few months so haven’t finished it. But I will definitely follow your instructions to save the slides as JPEGs so my planner will be more streamlined when I finally finish it 😄 Before Keynote was updated last year, I designed one in Vectornator and imported the pages into Keynote as PNGs. It was HUGE 😱 I couldn’t compress it enough 😟 Keynote on iPad has just a couple of downsides but overall I love it and hope that maybe Apple will continue to improve it.
First off, thank you for recommending my channel to people! I'm sorry you've been feeling unwell. I hope you feel better soon! I like Keynote, but prefer to use it on my laptop vs my iPad. Apple has definitely made some improvements over the last year, so hopefully they'll continue to add features that are on the laptop version that are missing on the iPad.
@@PlannersbyChristine Thank you 💕💕💕 I don’t have a laptop but I’m hoping to buy one in the next year. I have a mid-2010 iMac which is so outdated that I hardly use it 😄
You can write in your planner as a pdf in a program like GoodNotes. As far as editing the planner itself, once it's a pdf, you can't edit it, like changing links and such. What did you have in mind?
@@PlannersbyChristine I got now, Actually I thought we need to make it fillable like some people do in Adobe acrobat, but I understand now there is no need
Hello! Very informative video. I will be creating more planners to add to my collection. I’m on the final step and ready to sell. I did a test to my emails by sending it both PDF and as GoodNotes, but the links didn’t work to go to different months. How can I get those hyperlinks working for when I sell it to someone? They work for me in GoodNotes once I imported it of course, but again I created it. Hope this question makes sense. Update: I guess I was exhausted from working on the planner for a few days getting it perfect, I reopened the email I sent as a test to & it did work, haha, thank you again.
If it worked for you in GoodNotes, it should work for everyone. When the links didn't work, were you in an app or just opening the pdf? Not that it should matter. Even just opening the pdf on a computer, when you click on the month tab, if the links were set up correctly, they should work. When you say you sent as an email as GoodNotes, what do you mean? It has to be in pdf format for the links to work.
@@PlannersbyChristine So, I was giving it a test and I exported as a PDF and saved it in my files. When I opened it as a pdf, it opens fine, but the links didn’t work. It works in GoodNotes for me once I imported it there, so idk what happened
So I created a cover in my master slides but when I click done editing in the master slides my page template doesn't show up. Do I need to apply the cover in the master slide edit? do I apply the cover once I upload the finished blank template to the final planner template? I am a bit confused when it comes to uploading the cover
i have trouble with changing the document size, when i click on the three dots, it just doesn’t give me the opportunity to change the slide size, is there any other way to do so?
If you updated to iOS16, then Keynote has changed. To access the Document Size screen, click on the drop-down arrow in the top left corner next to the presentation name, choose Presentation Options, Presentation Setup, then go to the bottom to access Slide Size. I hope this helps!
Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it very much, several times, but I'm still trying to get it to settle in my brain. I have a little basic phone planner I bought years ago and I all want to do is change the text on the month tabs and 6 tabs on the top. I'm hoping that I can find a method that will click in my brain of how to do it. I'm not adverse to recreating the planner, it only has 20 pages.
Thank you for this tutorial. Learning how to use the X and Y axis to move planner boxes over a bit at a time was very helpful. Also, I ‘m able to create monthly, weekly, and daily spreads quickly and easily. In the past, getting correct placement on these spreads was a challenge.

Hi great work- do I have to add links for the whole month - click on each day ad add links starting at number 66?
Yes, you need to add a link for each day of the month. If your January 1 spread is slide 66, then that is the number you would start with.

Big help from 2024❤❤
Is it possible to make this with power point?

Thank you@@PlannersbyChristine
Thank you so much! I’ve been beating my head in canva because my file is too big to finish. I’m going to delete my linkable text, save as jpeg and upload to keynote to finish duplicating pages and hyperlinking.
I'm trying to make a planner. I dont understand how to export and flatten the pages meanwhile keeping your hyper links
Did you find a solution?
When you export as a pdf from Keynote, it keeps the hyperlinks and flattens the file. Is that what you did?
So if I’ve started a DP already and create this flatten method, do I now delete the daily, weekly etc pages from my original one I’ve already created?
Without seeing exactly what you did, it's difficult for me to tell you what to do, but if you used master slides for your daily and weekly pages, etc, you could import your flattened images into your master slides. Then delete the original masters. When you delete them, Keynote will ask you which slide to use instead to replace the slide you're deleting. Choose the flattened master slide you brought in.
Now, before doing this, you should make a copy of your Keynote file and make changes on that. That way, if anything goes wrong, you'll still have an unchanged file.
Just a doubt, In the weekly spread, we made a box and wrote 30. What are we linking that with? or what was its purpose?
Can you give me the timestamp in the video for when I did this? I looked at the section on making weekly spreads and don't see what you mean.
Hi how do I edit weekly slide as the days are too low into the lines and I want to add color to the boxes- thanks again
You highlight the text for the day name and make it smaller until it fits in the box.
Does making the file smaller work the same in Canva?
I haven't tried making a planner in Canva, but I would think it would work the same. The difference is, instead of importing the images from the template presentation, you would import the ones you made in Canva. Now, I don't know what the image quality would be, but using Canva to create a planner is on my to do list, so I'll experiment and find out.
One more question- how do I link the squares with the number 30 on top of the months? Thanks
I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but anything you want to link, you just have to have something to link it to. In other words, you would link to text field that has 30 in it. If the 30 is from a master slide and there's nothing to link to on your main slide, then you would put a square over the 30 and choose "No fill" which makes the square invisible.

On one of the slides where we put the boxes over the months and we put the number 30 in it- what are we to do with those? Do we have to link it to something? Thanks
I think I know what you're talking about. On the weekly spread I put a 30 above all the days of the week. That was a placeholder for the dates. So, you would put the actual date of that day of the week. You don't have to do that though. You could leave those boxes blank and write in the actual date when you're doing your planning that week. Does that make sense?
How are you getting your pencil to move objects so easily....When I try my pencil makes marks on the page.....
When you're in a presentation in Keynote, click on the three dots in the top right corner, then Settings. Scroll down and under Apple Pencil, toggle on Select and Scroll.
@@PlannersbyChristine ok will try that
Can you please help me… What are we going to link with number 30 on all the weekly slides??
The number 30 are placeholders where you'll change the 30 to the actual date. I didn't show that in the tutorial. In this tutorial I didn't link anything to it, it's simply showing that date for that day in the weekly slide.
When I tap the 3dots for document set up I don’t have that as an option. What am I doing wrong? I’m very new to key notes.
Apple changed how to do it in iOS 16. This video shows how.

I can't find document resize on the latest ipad Keynote for some reason T.T

Hii, I really hope you’re still answering to the comments in this video. The tutorial is perfectly clear and I’ve followed all the steps up to the linking part. Is there an easier and faster way to do it? Cause scrolling down every time is pretty unnerving😅 I heard u suggest using the laptop, but I’ve got windows and not a Mac, so I cannot use keynote
The only fast way I know of is to use my laptop. The way I do it there is, I click on the square where I want to create the link and use the hotkey Cmd+k. That brings up a screen where I can type in the number of the slide I want to link to rather than having to scroll to it.
Hi! I have seen people making note templates which lets them to write on a dotted page or a lined page. Is there a way to do that without changing the current page user is on? Like i write things on that page but i want to change the note template to lined to dotted without losing my texts on the page
You can add in a lined or dotted page to the planner by inserting it where you want it or pasting it in over an existing page.
On the daily slides we have January 1, 2023 do I change the date for each month also? Thanks
You'll need to put the correct date on every slide so that when you click on the date in the monthly spread it will have the correct, corresponding date on the daily spread. It's time consuming but there aren't shortcuts.
I meant how do I adjust the lines and text
If you watch the video at about the 17 minute mark it shows how to change the width of the boxes. If you mean the width of an individual line, you select the row in the table then go to the paintbrush > Cell > Cell Border > and use the plus and minus to change the width of the border.
Now, remember that you need to make these changes in the template presentation, then you export as an image and reimport into your main presentation. Go the the 39 minute mark to see how I went back and made a change to a slide.
Thank you very much!
This was excellent information. The thing I'm so confused about is the different files. Which one is the main and which one is the flattened file or the Master...I'm lost when it comes to that, or which file has the hyperlinks
The first file you create (template presentation) is the one with all the layers that you flatten (Export as images). The second file you create is where you import those images into the master slides and create all your links. Does that make sense? Please let me know if you have further questions.
@@PlannersbyChristine Thank you! This helps! Being new to the digital planners, I’m trying to figure out all the steps. I going back to watch all your tutorials. THANK YOU!
I get it. I remember when it was new to me. I was confused as well. 😊
@@PlannersbyChristine I have a question. How come when you added tab name and tab link to master slide then it copied to all 12 months to all 56 weeks and to all 364 days
That’s the beauty of master slides. Any slide based on a master slide will have the same changes made to it that are made on the master.
i am soo confused why didnt you download the whole file at ones? how didnt get those 2 files saperate when you imported to GN? what was difference?
I'm sorry if it's confusing. The first presentation you make is the one where you create the pretty layout with all the layers. Then you export the images before importing them into the second presentation. The reason I do it that way is so that when I create the pdf file, it will be small. Does that make sense? If not, I suggest watching the video again and see if it makes more sense the second time.
@@PlannersbyChristine okey Thank you!
I’m having a bit of trouble. Your video is so thorough and well made, I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I create my background under the higher custom iPad resolution/size as you did, 2360x1640 for my iPad Air and export as image to files. Then when I try to import it under 4:3 and zoom in it’s still blurry, though I know you said to select 4:3 so it is not blurry. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
I should add, I’m flipping the numbers (1640 for width, and 2360 for height) because I want portrait, so I’m selecting 3:4 but I figured it would work out to be the same. Not sure though! lol
Hmm. Not sure why it's coming out blurry. One thing to check is, when you choose to Export > PDF, scroll down and make sure Best is selected for Image Quality.
Thanks for another excellent tutorial, Christine 👍🏻
I frequently recommend your channel on Facebook ☺️
I started a planner last year but I’ve been poorly for a few months so haven’t finished it.
But I will definitely follow your instructions to save the slides as JPEGs so my planner will be more streamlined when I finally finish it 😄
Before Keynote was updated last year, I designed one in Vectornator and imported the pages into Keynote as PNGs. It was HUGE 😱 I couldn’t compress it enough 😟
Keynote on iPad has just a couple of downsides but overall I love it and hope that maybe Apple will continue to improve it.
First off, thank you for recommending my channel to people! I'm sorry you've been feeling unwell. I hope you feel better soon!
I like Keynote, but prefer to use it on my laptop vs my iPad. Apple has definitely made some improvements over the last year, so hopefully they'll continue to add features that are on the laptop version that are missing on the iPad.
@@PlannersbyChristine Thank you 💕💕💕
I don’t have a laptop but I’m hoping to buy one in the next year. I have a mid-2010 iMac which is so outdated that I hardly use it 😄
How to make digital planner editable after exporting as a pdf file??
You can write in your planner as a pdf in a program like GoodNotes. As far as editing the planner itself, once it's a pdf, you can't edit it, like changing links and such. What did you have in mind?
@@PlannersbyChristine I got now,
Actually I thought we need to make it fillable like some people do in Adobe acrobat, but I understand now there is no need
Awesome! I'm glad you figured it out.
Thank you very much 😊
This is what I was looking for
You’re welcome!
Hello! Very informative video. I will be creating more planners to add to my collection. I’m on the final step and ready to sell. I did a test to my emails by sending it both PDF and as GoodNotes, but the links didn’t work to go to different months. How can I get those hyperlinks working for when I sell it to someone? They work for me in GoodNotes once I imported it of course, but again I created it. Hope this question makes sense.
Update: I guess I was exhausted from working on the planner for a few days getting it perfect, I reopened the email I sent as a test to & it did work, haha, thank you again.
If it worked for you in GoodNotes, it should work for everyone. When the links didn't work, were you in an app or just opening the pdf? Not that it should matter. Even just opening the pdf on a computer, when you click on the month tab, if the links were set up correctly, they should work.
When you say you sent as an email as GoodNotes, what do you mean? It has to be in pdf format for the links to work.
@@PlannersbyChristine So, I was giving it a test and I exported as a PDF and saved it in my files. When I opened it as a pdf, it opens fine, but the links didn’t work. It works in GoodNotes for me once I imported it there, so idk what happened
I'm not sure why it works in Goodnotes but not just as a pdf. Maybe whatever program your computer uses for pdfs is the issue.
@@PlannersbyChristine Oh I figured it out, it does work. I was just exhausted. It worked as a PDF and GoodNotes
@@levelupcobudgetss6807 Great!
So I created a cover in my master slides but when I click done editing in the master slides my page template doesn't show up. Do I need to apply the cover in the master slide edit? do I apply the cover once I upload the finished blank template to the final planner template? I am a bit confused when it comes to uploading the cover
Do you mean it's not showing up when you press the plus sign back on the main presentation screen so that you can't add it?
i have trouble with changing the document size, when i click on the three dots, it just doesn’t give me the opportunity to change the slide size, is there any other way to do so?
If you updated to iOS16, then Keynote has changed. To access the Document Size screen, click on the drop-down arrow in the top left corner next to the presentation name, choose Presentation Options, Presentation Setup, then go to the bottom to access Slide Size. I hope this helps!
Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it very much, several times, but I'm still trying to get it to settle in my brain. I have a little basic phone planner I bought years ago and I all want to do is change the text on the month tabs and 6 tabs on the top. I'm hoping that I can find a method that will click in my brain of how to do it. I'm not adverse to recreating the planner, it only has 20 pages.
The only way to do it on an existing planner is to create something like a sticker and paste it over the text on every page of the planner.
Thank you for this tutorial. Learning how to use the X and Y axis to move planner boxes over a bit at a time was very helpful. Also, I ‘m able to create monthly, weekly, and daily spreads quickly and easily. In the past, getting correct placement on these spreads was a challenge.
I'm so glad it helped!
