We have rationalised the number of 'print ready' files that we make available to just the list below. The larger selection source files have been retained and are still available from the links further down the page. 

Inserts for 2025

Note the reference number and the size, use A4/A5 for all ISO page sizes (A4, A5, A6, B5, B6 etc). 

Click on the name to see a preview of the insert, note that the date doesn't reflect the files, the previews are not updated every year. 

The print ready Word or PDF files are a full 12 months for each year listed at the top of the column. 

The source files are in the Word and Excel columns, you will need both files for each insert. 

In the Excel files you will find a Year sheet, and other worksheets. To change the year enter the year in appropriate cell, note that the source files don't change from year to year. 

When carrying out the merge in Word merge the data from the 'Merge Sheet' listed in the final column.

Ray Blake of the My Life All in One Place blog and I have collaborated in an ongoing project to produce a range of diary layouts that can be downloaded, printed, punched and used. You can find them all here and they are all free. They are offered for download and use under a Creative Commons Licence. That means you can freely use and adapt them other than commercially. You can share these templates with other people, but you must not charge for them.

You need to decide whether you just want to download prepared layout sets for the full year, or whether you want to roll up your sleeves and adapt our templates to your own needs. Some of the things you can do when you have the source files are:
  • Make and print a diary for any year - past, present or future
  • Adjust the space given to different days or other template elements
  • Add your name or other details to each page
  • Make a diary for part of a year, or for any period you want
  • Change the language of month and day name
Follow the links below to the blog posts where the files are to be found. Often there will be several in one post, but the individual files will be clearly signposted and instructions are included in the posts. Not all of the sets we plan to produce are available yet. I'll make more of the links live as further sets become available.

    I love this blog and read it frequently. Currently I am searching for the personal Year Calendar for 2022, 2023, 2024, (sometimes called a year on a page). Is it here and I'm overlooking it?

      Hi Steve, 2.8.1 is not it. If you look at Year Calendar 2021, those formats are a single-sided, block month grid 3 columns by 4 rows.

      Which size and number of the file are you trying?

      But I don't think that would be easy to do without a lot of manual editing!

      I had started editing in the word document and yes it is a lot of editing but I just don't get the print layout correct then or a bigger print size.

      You would have to do that modification yourself by adapting a word file to that format yourself using an existing file that has the calendar built in. May be one of the A5 format inserts.

    Hi Steve, I am getting an error message whenever I try to open a word document - saying it's a mail merge and trying to find a source. Any ideas?

      I assume you have downloaded both the Word and the Excel file. You need both. When you open the Word file for the first time yes you will have to locate the Excel source file and then give Word permission to open it and use it.
      When you save the Word source file it will remember the location of the Excel file. Naturally the location you store the files in is different to where I store them.
      It's not an error, just situation normal!

    Hello, this is HUGE! Thank you sooo much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just downloaded the A4/A5 format. Will try to print it out next week. Hope so it will turn out nice double sided. Thanks again and I hope this wil stay online and accessible each year. Kind regards.

    This site is amazing. Thank you for all your efforts.

    I tried downloading the "Month on two pages (Horizontal) files" for Personal on Personal Paper and followed the guide for merging including the instructions on inserting the page break and removing the section breaks. It only seems to find one section break to remove, and it seems I still have issues with alligment and the month of March doubling up.

    I was wondering if you had a premerged version of this or a PDF as I am happy with the original template? Sorry to be pain. Thank you for your time.

      You need to do the mail merge yourself from the source files. You will need to update the year in the excel file to do 2023

    Hi. Absolutely love this site after being away from Filofax since 2004. Now I'm back with an A5 heritage compact. I'm trying to create / change a layout but I get margin issues on the second week (1 week to two pages). So, I just downloaded the Word file and data source, made no changes and then did the merge and the margins are fine on the first weekly spread (pages 2 and 3), but subsequent pages the margins in essence get bigger and so when printed there is too much 'white' space. Do you know why they would be different? I can manually change the layout by dragging the ruler on Word but need to do this for all pages and this would take a long time. Thanks for all your help.

      Did you do the Find and Replace to remove the Section Breaks on the merged file? Find - Section Breaks, but leave the Replace field empty, and then Replace All.
      That should sort your margins out.
      Don’t forget to add a page break at the start of the file, so Page 1 is a blank page and the diary starts on page 2. Page 2 being the left hand page of the printed file Page 3 being the right hand page ie facing.
