yes but how is the individual cert no recorded? You have to 'buy' these from your provider (eg NICEIC)

Hmm, on closer look - maybe they're not designed for registered electricians?!? Can't put the NICEY logo on it can you??

I downloaded them but I cant open the .odt files.

Anyone know what program I need for this?
 
Openoffice.

Great thanks, although on their website it says its compatable with MS Word, obviously not!

Office 2007 SP2 or 2010 can open it. Wordpad on Windows 7 has partial support.

Other than that, almost all free office suites support it properly. Conversely, the new 'open' format Microsoft wrote is handled properly by.. Office, and not much else.
 
Hello.
I ordered one out of curiosity. :oops:
I can open the certs but when I 'click' edit and select from the drop down menu, the 'ok' tab does not 'highlight' in order for me to add. :eek: :LOL: :LOL:
In the 'name and address' details I cannot enter text either.
(I should add, I only had a quick look and my computing skills are very limited).

Regards
Ed

Because Microsoft like making money and dislike competition (odt is not a Microsoft format. It's an open format developed by Sun).

What?
Surely you just write the number with a pen, the number incrementing each time.

Or you could set up a batch print with the number incremented on each copy (don't ask me how, but I see no reason it can't be done, and I'm almost positive such a feature is implemented in most if not all decent office suites).
 
Having just looked on the Elecsa website, if you download blank certificates from there (members only section), each download automatically has serial numbers included, which increment each time you download the file (PDF). No charge for that.

Their certificate pads have 2 boxes where the certificate number and membership number are filled in using a pen.

If the NICEIC are charging just to have serial numbers on certificates, surely it's time to find another scheme?
 
I don,t get this buying numbers palaver use your own recording system!
I got the disk also, found it very interesting loads of templates etc works on XP ok, but you have to create from a template you cannot write onto it direct, I dont use it for certs now but did so for a few practice runs for my new machine
Mac
