Similarly, I made a template on my computer and type each new dance into the template, then print them onto cardstock to call from. When I spill my tea on them or notice a way to teach something better or the correct spelling of the author or whatever, I scribble it on the cards, and periodically go through and print new corrected ones.
I have the whole thing periodically backed up on my hard drive though I'm considering switching stuff like that to google-drive. Does anyone know if it will hold onto formatting created in word, in the way that google docs wouldn't? On Oct 14, 2012, at 2:03 PM, Donald Perley wrote: > I put them all on google-drive.
