Card design

Design the table card

One card is drawn at its real size and scaled down, and every choice shows on it at once: the fonts, the sizes, the spacing and where the names sit.

The card at the top

  1. Open Card design from the menu, or press Card design at the top of the Tables page.

    The top of Card design: Undo, Redo, On the mirror and Print.

  2. The card stays in view while you scroll the choices under it; on a computer it sits on the left. Minus and plus under it show each table's card in turn. A table with no names yet shows sample names.

    One table card as Card design draws it: Table 1 and its eight names, with minus and plus to see each table.

  3. Undo and Redo at the top step back and forward through your changes. On a computer, Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y do the same.

The card's size and how many names

  1. Under The card, the Width and Height are the same card as on the seating chart: change it here or there.

  2. Names per card is how many names go on each table's card.

The names

  1. Press Font and the list of fonts opens right under it, with the card still in view. Type in Find a font, or pick Script, Serif, Sans or Display. Tap a font and the card changes.

    The list of fonts open under the Font row: Find a font, Favorites, All, Script, Serif, Sans and Display.

  2. The star beside a font keeps it in your Favorites, listed first the next time. Press Done to close the list.

  3. Size, Line spacing and Columns have a minus and a plus. Order is First Last or Last, First, and Letters is As typed or CAPITALS.

    The names: Font, Size, Line spacing, Columns, Order and Letters.

  4. Too many to fit: Shrink to fit makes the names smaller on a full card. Leave the size keeps them as set, and the page says when they do not fit.

Where the names sit

  1. The names sit moves the block of names to the left, the middle or the right. Down the card puts it at the top, the middle or the bottom.

  2. Each line lines up lines the names up inside the block, and Indent moves them in.

  3. Space at the top, Space at the sides and Space at the bottom keep the names off the card's edges.

    Where the names sit: The names sit, Down the card, Each line lines up, Indent and the space at the top.

The heading and the ink

  1. Under Heading, Shows picks Table 3, just the 3, the table's name, or none. Then its place across, its font and size, the space under it and its letters.

  2. Under Ink, pick Black, Antique rose or Dusty rose.

See the whole mirror

  1. Press On the mirror at the top. Every card is drawn where the seating chart puts it, with its names. Pinch to look closer.

    On the mirror: all fifteen cards drawn where they go on the mirror, with their names.

  2. Press Back to return, or Seating chart to change the layout.

The design saves itself as you go.
