Stamping and Slotting Dives with Excel and Word

Recommended Posts

Greetings,

Last weekend I helped to organize a 30-way event we had here in Texas (from the CASA).

As part of the event, I wanted to have all of the dives stamped so that once we slotted each it was quick and easy to create a handout for all participants -- showing their slots in the aircraft and each point in the skydive(s).

After doing much research it appeared that people used Autocad and older dive maker software to accomplish this but it was not as quick as I wanted nor did it have the merge capabilities I was looking for.

I used Excel and Word (merge) to accomplish this and the 3 dives are attached.

After the event I had many people asking me what software I used to create the dives in. Instead of answering each of them, I decided to put together a 15 minute "quick and dirty" tutorial that illustrates (at a high level) how I accomplished this.

Let me know if you have any issues viewing it, or questions...
