3. Click on "Create", then Ctrl+P in the browser, to preview the printed agenda. There should not be more than 55 pages.
4. Set browser print settings to:
   • Margins: None
   • Orientation: Landscape
   • Print on both sides, flip on long edge
   • Scale: Default
   If the pages overflow to a second page, decrease the line height.
5. If you have a one-sided printer, you will be prompted to print the even pages, then carefully flip the pile along the long (11") axis, and re-load the stack in the feed hopper, taking care to keep the paper in the same orientation.
6. Cut the paper in the centre across the short (8.5") dimension, stack the left pile onto the right pile, and take it to a print shop for spiral coil binding. Or punch two holes and insert it in a binder.
