Thank you so much for your generous teaching.

This video was incredibly useful. A cool trick I used after learning this is to make 8 columns instead of 4. Then I removed the lines in the 5th column that would be between Wednesday and Thursday and made it more narrow. That way it's one continuous chart and I could write in the numbers and hit tab to fill each one in without having to click between charts. I could also format the entire calendar at once if needed. :)

I was really struggling until I found this video! Super helpful. Thanks for sharing!

The equivalent size of "letter" is "A4". A5 is half of an A4 and a A3 is double size of a A4. Thanks for your videos. They are really really helpful and very well made. Keep up the good work. Ciao.

Absolutely Fabulous! Thanks so much. I've been designing in Word and am looking into In Design...amazing how simple you made this look. Greatly appreciated.

Nice, very helpful - reminds me of Quark XPress days. Thanks for walk-through

[pajdka]

Thank you for the tutorial. You are the best!

This is an awesome tutorial- thank you

[fionascullion]

Thank you for the tutorial it was very helpful and well explained.
There is however a slight confusion with paper sizes,
A5 (5.83 in by 8.27 in) is about half the size of the US letter size (8.5 in by 11 in).
A4 (8.27 in by 11.69 in) is closer to US letter size and to double up you could use A3 in landscape (11.69 in by 16.54)

i learned so many tricks watching the video like using alt+shift to duplicate. and coming to the end of the table and pressing shift and distributing rows and columns spaces equally and many more of those. why don't you post a video on shortcuts used in indesign. it will be lifesaver. i have seen many indesign videos. but this one was a life saver i should say. thank u so much. keep posting useful videos.

For anybody outside US, know that A3 is the correct size (around 16.5in on the large side).
A3 = 2x A4 pages
A5 is half of A4 page size

That table features is so bomb, hope I can have it on my CS5😑

[springmelody]

Very useful video, thank you so much. Do you perhaps know how to set the pages so when I print it as a book, I can see the pages side by side? I saw your comments about binder but it is easier for binder because you can cut it in half. For book setting I don't understand how to do it. Please help if you can. Thank you so much

Hi I have just found your videos you explain everything in such an easy way for us newbies to understand and just made my life that much easier 😀But I have one question I am in the process of creating planner pages e.g. 5 double pages is there a way to save all the pages in one go as I have been saving them one by one . Then creating pdf one by one also. Is there an easier way of doing this. TIA

[inhabitantofearth]

How would I get the planner pages that I designed professionally printed out into an actual planner? I want it to be hard covered. Where would I need to go?

[kathymilley]

Nicki - I need to add a day countdown in addition to the date in the cells on my monthly calendar - can I do that easily in Indesign

[amandasullivan]

How do i create one of these that are editable in adobe acrobat? Where I can add my own dates, fonts, colors in adobe acrobat? No one seems to be covering this. Thanks

[tomaholic]

Fantastic Tutorial :) Just a quick question, can you set the length of an individual stroke, for example i want to set a stroke of 38mm in length and 28 in height. Thank you :)

[joylovekind]

One question, can you do a video on how to do A5 inserts and adding holidays into each box like what size font is needed for A5??
