I also use Visio to create my SSDs.  Using Mr. Goodall's stencils, it's
mere
child's play to quickly make great looking SSDs.

I actually print them out on 3x5 cards.  One side is the SSD, the other
side
is for writing orders.	This allows each person to have a stack of cards
for
his fleet, and it's easier to write on them without using the table or
clipboards.

Each SSD card has a place for recording the mini's ID number.  I have a
set
of small washers painted solid colors, each with a unique alphanumeric
ID on
them.  These are slipped over the mounting stand, then the ship is
placed on
the stand.  This allows one to easily see which side a mini is on (by
the
color of the washer) as well as it's ID number.
