English version?
Emmanuel,
Great format - I'd love to have it in English if possible... If you don't want to translate but are willing to post the source file I'd be happy to do it...
thanks!
would be great to have in english
again, i'm not sure that i'd move back to it from electronic, but if it's free i'd give it a shot in my circa.
Looks good
Could we have a larger version of the thumbnail too? Just to better see how you used it.
I add the "planner user"
I think is more readable than the thumbnail.
Translation is on the way !...
Thanks
I appreciate the "planner user". It gives me a lot of ideas.
Très très intéressant.
Très très intéressant. Pas du tout ce que j'ai besoin, mais vraiment intéressant. Beau design.

Rough translation...
Argh. Sorry - I translated the previous post before realizing the form was in French.
Yes - an English version
Yes - an English version would be great. Could you post the source files so we can do our own translations? Thanks.
English version with option to change dates?
This layout looks great! Is there any chance an English version will be ready in the near future? Also is there a way to change the dates on it, I would love to be able to start using the pages now but the dates don't start till the new year.
Great pages. Any chance for
Great pages. Any chance for an English one?

Emmanuel17 - Thanks for this form - nice work.
Would you be able or willing to post an 'unlocked' version of the pdf, so that we could edit it? (Or is there an easy way of which I'm not aware?) Pity us English-readers and form tinkerers.
Thanks.

Planner Pad
I really like the template you made, Emmanuel! Is there any way I can get a version of it (like Word or Exel) that is not PDF so that I can make a few adjustments? I've been using Week at a Glance and an additional system or two to stay organized, but I am on a hunt to find somthing similar to Planner Pad that I can customize without starting from scratch. (I'm not that great with Excel, yet.) I would like to enter recurring dates (like work schedule, birthdays and reminders, etc.) so that I don't have to keep rewriting them every year. I wish there was some kind of computer software with lots of planner templates and you could customize them, enter in your personal dates and data, and then either print them yourself or have them printed in a binder style! I'd like it to be something I wouldn't have to enter the next year. I know what I want (like a paper version of a Palm), I just can't find it and don't have the skills to make it easily. I've spent 7 hours hunting the internet. I have a Mac, which also complicates things. Any ideas out there?
Maybe our own...
...code wizard, ygor, will take a look at it--this template seems to be pretty popular!

I could look, but...
I may be stepping across legal boundaries if I made a Dynamic Template out of it. Remember that I do have Doug's permission/license to copy his.

Aha...
Is this form that much like the originals? (It's been a while since I looked at the "real thing" and don't remember what they look like!)

OOo template
I post the OpenOffice.org original template. I put this form under the Public Documentation Licence, so you can use it, change it as you want.
Have fun ;-)
Plannerpads .ods
Sorry to bother, but how do you use this in OpenOffice?
The purpose of this template is to be print
So, in OOo you just have to change the initial date of the template and print it.
After it's a story about paper and pens ;-)
Thank You!
Thank you very much for this terrific template and for the .ods file. I really appreciate your work. Thank you.
Your designs
This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you!
This is awesome, merci mille
This is awesome, merci mille fois! I've been using TimeSystem forever, and somehow I didn't feel it fit my needs anymore. Can't say I have ever heard of PlannerPad before, but what you have done here is exactly what I want. I'm looking forward to 2008 when I can start using it.
Use it right now !
You can use the OpenOffice template to make the few last 2007 weeks and starts using it now
Enjoy :)
Still confused
how do you open the .ods file in Open Office as a template?
d -> t
Change the d (Document) in .oDs for a t (template)
Thanks, but....
When I download the file it saves as a .zip
Where is the .ods?
Nevermind !!
I just changed the .zip to .ots and it works great!! Thanks
Oh Oh!!
Is there a simple way to make this letter in lieu of A5?
Has Anyone Found A Way?
To print this GREAT form in like... Classic Size.
Sorry to be so dense. Thanks.

Scale to page
It's fairly simple to do, actually.
In Adobe Reader, somewhere in its print window, is the option to both change the page size and to then scale the page to that new page size. So, if you choose 1/2 Letter size (Classic), simply check the option to scale the A5 size to 1/2 Letter. I would make sure that scaling larger is also turned on. The same holds true for printing on a full letter-sized page. Yes, everything will be blown up to fit that size, but you should get _something_, even if it's not a perfect fit, it should all be there...
Oh, and it's possible to do the same in Mac OS via the standard Mac print dialog window. It's under the "Paper Handling" section.
-Jon
A template for confusion
Are you perhaps getting confused with the overloaded meaning of Template? Here the word is meant as "pro forma" whereas OOo means a sample layout for a document. As others have mentioned coverting one ot the other is as simple as changing the last character of the file type.
This template is awesome
This is exactly what I was looking for and for my purposes it does not require any tailoring either - so thank you!
LOVE THIS FORMAT.....1/2 letter size possible?
I really love this format. Would it be too difficult to create a PDF for half letter? Can I format the print instructions to reduce the size to half letter?
Thank you.

Half Letter DIY/ Open Office format
I am a self proclaimed computer idiot who knows little to nothing about different document/template formats.
When I try to open the (ods) files I get a sea of random characters.
Do I need to download a different reader for this format? If so where would I get it, and does it come with the 'for dummies' instructions? :-)
Thanks for helping this paper addict try to assimilate into the electronic world!

Print Junior Size
When I open a pdf file and click print, I choose to print "multiple pages per page" and then choose 2. This will reduce the doc to 2 pages per letter size page which is what you are looking for. OR you can go to printer settings (after clicking print) and choose A5 as the document size instead of Letter and it will print the 1/2 page letter (Junior or Classic) size.
Hope that helps!
nay nay
Thank You!
I was considering purchasing the Planner Pad but I wasn't sure if I'd really like it. Plus, I wanted a really cool cover and wanted it to look creative. :-) Thanks so much for sharing the pdf. Now, I can make my own!
Works great in Junior size... now.... double-sided
Dear Nay-nay, How do you get the pdf to print double-sided so the the weeks work out right?

Do you have a printer that does duplex ?
If so, then just print it duplex.
If not, try this information: Dynamic Template Printing Non Duplex printer
Holler if you have questions.

Emmanuel17, I love your template so much-Can I have your baby??
Seriously,
I have tried more time management systems than I can count. Plannerpads is the only one which works for my ADHD, hyper-focused mind. Working off a paper copy of my calendar/to do/priorities list is essential. Too many distractions on a computer or PDA.
This template is perfect because I can insert and deleted rows in the sections according to my needs, and use excel functions to auto fill from my to do lists.
I tried to create it myself a few times, but always end up struggling with format-and give up.
THANKYOU!THANKYOU!THANKYOU!
