A5 Year Planner (Vertical Format)

Another insert that we have never been asked for, a year planner but in vertical format rather than horizontal format.


Unlike our traditional 'horizontal' format it is spread over two pages but as two individual pages instead of a fold out format. 

So this insert is a year on two pages, it is formatted in vertical format for A5.

You can download and print finished versions for this year from our diary inserts page.

If you want to customise this insert to your own requirements you need to download the source files here Word file and the Excel file, you will need both.

We have also done this one a single A4 page in the more conventional way that you can print out and then 'Z-fold' to fit an A5 organiser.

It looks like this:


You can download and print finished versions for this year from our diary inserts page.

If you want to customise this insert to your own requirements you need to download the source files here Word file and the Excel file, you will need both.

When you've made all the changes you like to the template, you can perform a mail merge to create your own insert for any period you like. Check out our Free Diary Inserts link if you want more information on how to do this, including videos.

Once again a big thank you to Ray at 'My Life All In One Place' for his hard work and co-operation with helping to create and support us with all these inserts.

  3. Is there any way the 2017 one can be done Steve for us waifs and strays that teach and follow an academic year format, ie 2017-2018. I work from September-August in my planner, so Sept 2017- August 2018. I know you can change the source file somehow you once said, to suit your own dates, but not sure how to do this here. I need a tecchie bod to say now you press button A. A whole year would be okay or pointers as to how to change the source file for your needs. THANK YOU. I love this insert. How clever of you and Ray.

    1. To do an academic year planner you have to take both years and copy and paste the months from one in to the other and remove the earlier months to get the 12 months you want. There's no easy way of doing it in the source files unless you rewrite them!

  4. Ah, I'm sorry Steve, I obviously have a lot to learn and don't know how the source files work in reality! I wish I were more tecchie, but I'm willing to learn and am a keen and eager beaver. I love to try new stuff out.Still find Excel baffling, as it never looks like the printed version on the screen I find.I'm bootling off to check my e. mail account straight away Steve. Thank you for helping out. You know, my brain feels fried trying to sort out my inserts this year and yet I know which ones I like and which work through years of trial and error. I've had quite severe hay fever the last few weeks and think the anti-histamines are getting to me a bit. Thank you again for all you do and your Philofaxy support........ scuttling off to look at inbox now!!

  6. Hello - this is my favourite format for using for the whole year and I'm happy to create my own but when I click on the links to download the word and excel source files nothing happens. Are the links broken? Can I access the files from somewhere else?

    Love Philofaxy - thank you, Alison

    1. The links are working, I've just tested them. Check your browser set up for setting for download location.

    2. Thanks for checking so quickly Steve, some of the source files were downloading & opening straight away just by left clicking on them - these ones I had to copy the link address and paste it into a new tab and then it downloaded it fine. Chrome is having a weird day!

      All sorted now though, mail-merged and working perfectly - thanks very much again, Alison

  7. Hello! I am struggling to edit the year on two pages formatted in vertical format for A5 for 2023, and I cannot find the videos anywhere. Could you perhaps send me a direct link to the videos, how to edit the word document? I am using a MacBook.
    Thanks so much!

    2. Thanks very much for the link, those videos are very helpful!

      I am struggling to edit the vertical annual planner so it's over 2 pages and not just one.

  8. Hi, apologies for the typo.

    Thanks very much for the link, I have found the videos and they are very helpful!

    I am trying to edit the vertical annual planner A5 on 2 pages. When creating the file, the entire planner is on one page. How can I split it over two pages?

    Many thanks!!

    1. Let me grab the files and remind myself how this one is arranged.

    2. Email me at philofaxy at gmail dot com I tried it, did the mail merge and it split across to pages straight away. So I'm not sure what you are doing wrong.

    3. Ok and here comes the next challenge, the top left corner does not update the year field, it just says "year". Any idea how I can fix that? Sorry for all the questions, I hope you don't mind.
