Filofax goes everywhere with me and doesn't need charging or booting up, so much quicker to jot a contact number into but data finally is added to my blackberry which links to computer and iPad thanks to google.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023026298712673475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-20343042938138578122012-10-20T14:07:29.367-04:002012-10-20T14:07:29.367-04:00Thanks Steve, that's what I thought.

It sounds to me like you have a ring alignment problem. <br /><br />Return it to Filofax if you are in UK, or to your retailer elsewhere. <br /><br />SteveSteve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-42067266560927230822012-10-20T00:14:46.210-04:002012-10-20T00:14:46.210-04:00They are printed back to back by FF...They are printed back to back by FF...Steve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-36794295189238488262012-10-19T23:19:29.498-04:002012-10-19T23:19:29.498-04:00Question.

On Franklin Covey the front of the month is an index page, then you turn the page and have the month on two pages, then a task list on back. Does that make sense?

I needed the bigger rings at the time and phoned Filofax in London who said the Grand was the only one they did at that time with oversize (5/4) rings.
