I stopped using it before I ever started. I had the change the margins for each sheet since they're not all the same width.

It has ended up quite hefty though - I have a 6 period day so I have a day on two pages, with each side having 3 periods to plan - but I only put in about a full terms worth of pages in, and keep the previous planning elsewhere. If Ofsted come in and want to see previous term planning I'm screwed really :/ except they just want to seeEmsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07104512856989901871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-40934138722162729312013-01-04T16:40:21.125-05:002013-01-04T16:40:21.125-05:00You could try Eric Wilson (website: eckiethump.web...You could try Eric Wilson (website: eckiethump.webs.com ) for general restoration - he is in Edinburgh and has worked on several of my pens.

This is not ideal but is much easier than trying to shrink and fit (not to mention the difficulties of trying to get things to print two sided correctly!).
