Plan Your Meeting Agenda with Excel 11 years 10 months ago #16162

You can expedite creating FTH 2.0 agendas by using an Excel Agenda Planning worksheet available on the Toastmasters District 46 website at toastmasters46.org/about-clubs/freetoasthost-20-links.html

Once you have your agenda designed in Excel, you can simply follow the spreadsheet to set start and end times and copy and paste the role titles from Excel into FTH. Correcting mistakes in FTH can be confusing or difficult, depending upon the error. You can save time and anguish by first planning your agenda first in Excel, while setting up all the role durations so your meeting ends on time.

1. Review the two sample worksheets to see how this tool is used.
2. Enter the time your agenda begins in cell A2.
3. Enter the duration of each role in minutes into column B
4. The worksheet will automatically calculate the start time and end time for each role. Do not enter anything into columns C or D.
5. Enter the role title as you want it to appear on the agenda. Keep in mind the instructions for Numbered Roles and Keyworded Titles.
6. Enter “x” in columns F, G and H to remind you that these boxes must be checked when you create your FTH agenda.

I don't know if it's a security setting on our corporate network, or if the file is corrupt, but I'm getting an error message when I try to unzip them.

I'm sure they're small files. Would you mind posting them unzipped, or try zipping again?

Thanks.

I tried from 2 separate computers at the office. Same error message I attached earlier.

I'll try again from my home computer after work.

Thanks for looking into it.
