Free For All Friday - No. 880 by Steve

I was looking back at previous years as to when I printed my inserts for the coming year and in most years I printed them sometime in September, this year I got them done much earlier, mainly because I was changing sizes for 2026. 

In a way I’m glad I did because I have been surprised at how many times I’ve had to reach for my organiser to enter a new appointment or a task/reminder that will occur in 2026. 

I’ve been trying to help people out on the various social media platforms when it comes to deciding on what inserts to use next year. 

Have you decided yet? 

Of course it is Friday so please feel free to discuss anything Filofax related.  

Identify the Filofax - Answers

Here are the answers to last week's quiz. 

#1 Strata c.2006-08

Not to be confused with Bond, another bonded leather binder.

#2 Billingham 4BLCF7/8 c.1986-90

Inspired by the classic Billingham camera bags.

#3 Cosmic c.2000

Similar to Active but with unique zip fob.

#4 Fresco c.2009

Part of interior print identical to Cherry but note thin strip on left hand side showing Fresco colours.

#5 Balmoral A5 c.2000-04

Distinctive squarish scales but similar to other crocodile prints such as Dundee, Classic Croc, Osterley, Violet, Amazona, Ascot and Winchester 4CCF.

Thank you again to Dave Wright for setting the quiz.

Dates for your diary - Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 September 2025

We are going to run some more 'Virtual Meet Ups'.

When? - Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September 2025 at the following time:

• Los Angeles 8:00 am, 
• Denver 9:00 am
• Dallas 10:00 am,

• London 4:00 pm 
• Paris 5:00 pm etc.  

Join in on both days if you wish. 

Do not worry if you aren't available at the start of the session each one lasts 1-2 hours, so pop up when you are available and say hello.

Where? - an on-line chat using Signal. with voice and video (if you wish). If you aren't already in our participants list you need to contact Philofaxy before you come on line on the day of the chat. You can do this at any time. Please try to ensure that your Signal user name is the same as your actual name this will greatly assist in us being able to add you to the group. 

 

Because of unwanted people we are no longer able to give out a join here link. 

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Signal account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a most of us will be on video as well.

Who - Serious organiser users only.  We are no longer able to allow just anyone to join these chats due to the disruption caused by fake profiles on previous chats. You also need to be known to us in some way or other before we will permit you to join the chat. 

If you need any assistance setting up Signal, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Signal is free for computer to computer calls....

Hope to be chatting with you on Saturday 20 & Sunday 21September 2025.

 

Using the Philofaxy Diary Inserts with the current version of Office 365

In the time we have been producing the Diary Inserts, MS Office has gone through several versions. 

The videos we originally produced are largely out of date. It was therefore time for a big update especially with our reduced list of files. 

I've therefore done two videos, one using MacOS/Office 365 which is my system of choice and what I've been using for a number of years. The other using Windows 11/Office 365 which is one I'm not that familiar with and it did cause a few headaches to make the video!

Hopefully you will be able to understand better the various messages that pop up when opening newly downloaded files from Philofaxy. The messages are more prominent on Windows 11 compared to MacOS. 

Using our files with MacOS/Office 365:

 

Using our files with Windows11/Office 365:

If you still have any questions, please leave a comment below or email me. Details on our About page. 

Also if you want me to do any other similar videos just ask.
