As noted, just put the {{officerrole}} placeholder in the layout where you want officer roles to show up. Set the font size of the placeholder to adjust what the font size of the officer roles will be.

I strongly recommend printing on plain paper and cutting them out, since printing HTML is not always very accurate, so you may have trouble fitting the output correctly on perforated card stock. Recycle your name tag holders from the Avery kits.

Also, since your club name will show the same on every name tag, you can probably just ditch the clubname placeholder and just type in your club name instead if you want more control over how it is formatted w/ fonts and such.

BTW, you have to very careful when adjusting the margins. You may have multiple places to set margins (browser, and the tool, for example) and those settings can sometimes conflict w/ each other.

Nalin is our SAA. I have it set correctly on the website. I also have been printing out the cards now. The information is correct, but the size of the name tag is too small for our plastic badge holders and I can't seem to change it even when selecting a new size from the drop down. I am just using plain paper to print. Any tips on the size issue? Thank you for your patience!

If you need a different size, then you will have to start over with a different layout. (via the name tag templates)
Pay attention to the template details shown.

What size is the name tag you want?

The layouts and the print settings are tied to specific name tag sizes in order to optimize the printout.

Basically, you are building a table for the page layout. both the individual cell sizes (one nametag) and the overall dimensions and placement of the table as a whole make a difference.

Oops! My apologies... for some reason I thought you stated that Doug was your SAA... I guess I need glasses. :oops:
