You �re certainly right, but your "campaign" will probably not change anything, because I �m under the impression that only very few users read the forum... Moreover, this thread will have vanished from the main page in a couple of hours.
 
I also find it quite annoying when I "delete" some information by punching holes into a sheet, however, that �s one of the things I �ve meanwhile got used to. ;))
 
If the font is tiny, I usually change it by making the text boxes and the font bigger and when I do that, I will have to add a second page to the ws anyway...
 
Sometimes I only use certain parts of a ws, because some of the tasks are not suitable for that particular class I intend to give the ws to - so I make some changes anyway. It �s no problem to move the text boxes a bit more to the right then.
 
As I said, I do understand your irritation, however, all the wss I have ever downloaded from here so far have saved me sooo much time that I don �t see any point in mentioning such a minor issue. ;)

What about using sheet protectors? That �s what I do...

Like Olga I always use sheet protectors because I hate having holes in my work.
 
This brings up another interesting problem. Because in Australia A4 paper is the normal size I always have to rearrange anything on the American size. I guess the reverse applies to anyone using my worksheets.
What a pity we can �t all be the same but then
Viva la difference!

Sheet protectors are certainly a good idea, however, I will definitely NOT give sheet protectors to all my ss, because I would be the one who has to pay for them!! For my own archive I do use sheet protectors, but that doesn �t solve the problem blunderbuster was talking about: whenever you hand out a ws to your ss, they will certainly make holes in it and then part of the text might be gone! ;))
