HEADERSThe header is usually 9 or 10 rows deep. This particular template is setup to print at 80%. The typical page of information is

60 rows deep. The bottom page break may have to be adjusted up when super and subscripting are used. Adjust up or down by

increments of 10 rows.

To set a repeating header:

The header repeats on each page and includes the alpha (alphabet) row which identifies each column. The alpha row is set to a 8

sized font. The row numbers on the right side of the page and the alpha column labels are very useful in phone conversations.

When you set the print range, do not include the header. The header prints automatically.

The logo in the header can be generated in AutoCAD or native spreadsheet drawing tools. Logos using native tools will

print much faster than logos generated in AutoCAD but the AutoCAD logos can be resized and stretched more easily. row 60

This is because logos made up of Excel lines and text do not resize together.

Pages that measure a total of 70 to 80 lines deep by 14 columns wide seem to work best for containing a module of calculations. You

must weigh the amount of information included on the page versus someone else's ability to read it. Small fonts can be a nuisance.

Column width is 9 characters wide except for K, L, and M columns in an 80% print sized template. If the date stamp doesn't fit

in column N, reduce it to an 8 sized font from the default 10.

NOTESThe notes part of the template are located on your right hand side. They can row 220

start in column G, H, or I depending upon your style and the nature of your

presentation.

Notes, highlights, sketches, and photos can be hand written on your printout. If

you have to revise your calculations, simply cut the handwritten part out of the

voided printout and tape it onto the new printout with the easy liftoff tape

or the frosted style of tape. These generally go through a copy machine without

casting tape shadows on the copy. Some times the clear tape works quite well,

too.
