Default HOW DO i SET UP A PAGE LAYOUT FOR FILOFAX

I haven't used a paper organizer (outside of notes scrawled on whatever is
handy) in about 10 years. I kept forgetting to carry it with me. I'm a
little better now with computers and Outlook - but I still have a long way
to go.

You can buy filofax paper, two sheets to the page, but no Microsoft
software that I have found can print to that format. In fact the only
software I ever found that could print to it were an ancient DOS
application called Portex and the very annoying and expensive ClickBook.
Progress? There again I haven't opened my Filofax in years

If the issue is just the handwriting aspect, I'd be tempted to find a
label that would fit on the page and enter the data on the label.
Stick the label on the page and you're done.

If the issue is buying FiloFax pages, it seems like you're wasting a
lot of paper is you start with an A4 sheet to do one entry. Maybe you
could use smaller stock instead.

Take a piece of paper from your organizer. Clip it to the top left
hand corner of the A4 paper and draw round it. Discard the organizer
page and measure the unwanted area. Add sufficient extra for holes
and margins and set the page margins to match. Choose the mirror
margins option. Add some text and format to taste. Check that it
prints OK then delete the text. Save as a template.

I wish to set up a printing template for pages for a Personal
Filofax-type Organiser, so that I can PRINT pages [albeit onto an A4
sheet - then cut it to size & hole it] rather than WRITE it [by
hand]. Is there a quick way of doing this?
