Club 5265 and 643557 - Printing TM template puts much info on side panel

Locked 13 replies · 509 views

First of all thank you for a great improvement on all the aspects of FTH. It is different and I am exploring the how tos and finding new ways to accomplish what i previously had mastered. That is GREAT!

Now, for printing the agenda, we like the TM templates with the pretty header, but they really print oddly in FTH4 with too much info on the side panel. Is there any way to fix this on our end?  I realize that we can go to other templates, but this was the one we liked best.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Please provide a dated agenda and club number that we can look at.
The information present is what you have entered.
What information is "too much"
Thank you,

looking at club 5265 and agenda date Sept 17.

1) You have your theme in the meeting description box instead of the theme box in the agenda.
2) you can turn off the meeting description when printing.
Thank you,

Hi Brian. I thought I had added the FTH3 and FTH 4 agendas so you could see the difference. The agenda I printed for September 10 meeting of Club 5265 - ended up having our land acknowledgement down the side panel. Previously that was at the top of the page. i took pictures and thought I had added them to the original question posted.
You were probably using the Hybrid agenda if the meeting description was on the top
Thank you,

No, we have never been a hybrid club. We do want the land acknowledgement to show properly, but we also want the club header to be there.  

I can edit the agenda template to remove the theme, but we do need the land acknowledgement there as well.

I've added the two comparisons below of a FTH3 agenda and an FTH4 agenda and how it looks. It would be great to be able to print as before, but we can certainly use the other options if this cannot be fixed.

That is the Hybrid Agenda Template a combination of the FTH and TI templates

That is absolutely perfect! Thank you so much!
Clubs 643557 and 5265 - Still having an issue with printing the TM agenda. It looks great online but seems to have too much space between the lines and to print in one page, we need to reduce the size to 78% which can be bit small for some of us. The land acknowledgement we had at an Arial 9 pt before moving to FTH4 and it was relatively small. Is there any way to adjust the spacing to make it fit? Thanks for any help you can provide.
You definitely need to reduce some content, there is no way all the role descriptions will fit.
Either turn them off or be less verbose for your printed agenda.
Thank you,

We do turn them off for the printed agenda and I have even taken off the evaluator assigned to as well! Not sure what else I can reduce! Previously we reduced to about 95% if we had three speakers.
I made some changes to tighten it up so the names don't wrap as much.
You will still have to turn off the meeting notes.
