Non-Participant Scrolls


Non-Participant Scrolls

A scroll is a document produced for each member that is receiving from at least one other member and is typically printed and sent with a gift basket or mailing. It that displays a list of members that have selected that member in the Round Robin.
A non-participating member is one that has not made any selections..

To learn how to control the formatting of your scroll, please review the Customize Scroll Values section.

Use this function to produce a .docx file which can be edited and/or printed or a .pdf file that can be printed, which displays the names of each non-participating member and the names of the members that selected that member. On the Customize Scroll Values window, you selected docx or pdf as the format to produce your scrolls. The docx format can be opened by the MS Word component of Microsoft Office, while the pdf format can be opened by Adobe Acrobat, a free software product that you can download to your computer. The advantage of using docx format is that after your scrolls have been created and saved on your computer, if you have MS Word, you can open the scrolls and further tailor them, if you want to. Of course, if you don't have a copy of MS Word then you won't be able to do that. However, you can always save the docx file to your computer and convert it to pdf format as a second step by going to this website http://www.doc2pdf.net/. To save this extra step, you can set the Produce scrolls as option to pdf format and create a pdf immediately. However, please be aware that not all fonts will be reproduced exactly, if you choose this option.

These "scrolls" can be distributed with your gift baskets so recipients can see who chose them in the Round Robin. A non-participating member is a member that made no selections and is receiving a scroll because at least one other member selected the non-participating member.

In order to print scrolls directly from the .docx file as created, you must have Microsoft Word 2003 or greater on your pc. If you don't have MS Word, don't worry: you can save the .docx file and convert it to a PDF file free at website http://www.doc2pdf.net/ and then print the pdf file that will be created for you.
