Additional Details: Printable Itinerary Options - Classic
It is possible to download printable versions of the Virtual and Digital Itineraries you create in Wetu's Itinerary Builder. Printable Itineraries are generated in Microsoft Word format, which can be converted to PDF and e-mailed to clients.
There are two different style templates that can be applied to Printable Itineraries, Classic and Contemporary. Each style template has its own customisation options, which are designed to create a different look and feel.
In this document, we will show you how to generate a Classic Printable Itinerary, and explain the options available for customising its appearance. For information on using the Contemporary style template to generate Printable Itineraries, please refer to this article.
