Need a Document Template: Any Ideas?

[charliegolf]

Hiya,

Picture this:

A school timetable, 5 days with 4 sessions each. (easy bit)
Each box has the subject to be taught in it (editable, obviously)
Click the subject title, and a blank grid (always the same) pops up.
Teacher types a bit, closes the grid and repeats for next sesh.
Anytime during the week, she can open the timetable and click to see what's next! (or edit)

Any ideas, especially using only 1 filename per document, rather than hyperlink to 20 grids.

Any advice accepted.

Cheers

Can't entirely picture what you mean from your description, but my guess for an answer would be ....

Forget Excel/Word etc..... you'll end up with lots of nasty macros.

What you need is a nice simple to use database....try FileMaker (filemaker.co.uk)

Or just use google... for example, "teacher timetable template" gives you.....

aSc TimeTables - School Scheduling. Best timetable software to create school timetable.

and many others... why reinvent the wheel as they say ?

Thanks mixture,

I've had a look at those. The timetable is a red herring: it's just a front page which wil iallow the teacher to jump to the lesson plan hiding behind it. With 20 spots on the timetable, it needs 20 blank templates ready to pop up and be filled in.
