Guest chart pane

The Guest chart pane shows a chart, ordered by guest name (alphabetically by last name then first name). This allows guests to find their table quickly and can be very useful for displaying at the entrance to an event. You can also print off a full guest list. It is not possible to change the plan from this pane.

The chart can be shown by Guest (one guest per line) or Group (one group per line).

You can change the number of Columns in the chart and the Display format.

Using the Show drop-down list you can display:

• guests who have (or haven't) been assigned to seats

• guests who have (or haven't) accepted their invitations

• all guests

Change the fonts and colours using the button.

Click on the More button ( on Macintosh) to show additional options.

Click on the Title or Footer button to add/edit a title or footer for this pane. The Chart title/footer window will be displayed. We would really appreciate a mention of www.perfecttableplan.com in the footer!

You can also optionally show the table, seat number, notes, meal choices, special requirements and RSVP status - this can be very useful for caterers.

You can copy the contents of the pane to the clipboard as plain text and HTML using Edit|Copy. Use right click and Copy to copy selected text to the clipboard.

When you are happy with the layout you can print this page with File|Print.

You can export the pane as an Excel CSV, plain text or HTML file using File|Export and selecting guest chart to text/CSV/HTML file. Select Excel CSV file, Text file or HTML file from the Save as type drop-down in the Export window. Plain text may be useful for emailing to your stationary supplier. HTML preserves the layout and is useful for web pages and other HTML-aware applications, such as Microsoft Word. CSV files can be opened as Excel spreadsheets.

Hint Use Ctrl+A/ +A to select everything in this pane.
