I've created three different sizes of grid: 5mm, 7mm and 9mm, you can download them here:
- A4/A5 - 5mm Dot Grid Pages - .docx .pdf
- A4/A5 - 7mm Dot Grid Pages - .docx .pdf
- A4/A5 - 9mm Dot Grid Pages - .docx .pdf
Each file contains four pages so if you booklet print you will get two A5 pages with each side filled with the dot-grid pattern.
These were fairly easy to create. Each page is just a table, with invisible borders with a central full stop in each cell. I sized the table cells accordingly and allowed for the scaling down when printing from A4 to A5
If you show the grid lines in the table, the page looks like this:
Therefore creating other page sizes or dot intervals is fairly easy to do.
I hope you find these templates useful in your organiser/planner.
I have often wondered how people use dot grid pages in their planners. I love them, but am clueless as to their functional uses. I just write across the dots as if they are lines, however this feels a bit odd. I was gifted some dot grid pages on pretty lilac paper for my A6 a while back. Ideas anyone?? Thanks. xx
ReplyDeleteI am hopeless with dot grid for my cursive, I end up rising off the line like my loops are full of helium! But it's good of you to make the templates.
ReplyDeleteI started using Rhodia dot books (the simple side stapled 96 page) a few months ago and I'm absolutely hooked. Note taking is much more compact and efficient. I find them (cliché alert) a joy to use. I have found some (A6) on Amazon but unless/until Rhodia start churning them out I'm going to make my own. They have to be 5mm centres and light grey, that's just the rules.
ReplyDeleteAs to what to do with them: tables, columns, sketches ... you name it. I always use a pencil and rubber!
