Creating a calandar

Processor: Intel

I opened a template for a calendar. December 2008 starts on a Monday.

The Word template has the 1st of the month as a Saturday. How do I make the adjustment?

The Word "Calendar" template is as silly as a chook: it has no idea what the
date is at all. It's just a table, into which you will have to type your
own numbers.

I made a proper Calendar template here:

Note that that is an Excel file, which DOES know what the date is :-)

My idea is that you simply steal the logic from mine and create the
formatting to suit yourself.

If that's all too much trouble, try saving a Calendar out of Entourage as a
Web Page. Save it as a file, then open it in Word if you need to fiddle
with it. Again, Entourage knows about dates, so the dates and days will be
correct.

Hope this helps

Thank you. I will try your suggestion.

I can't believe no one at Microsoft thought to enable users to input proper dates on calendars. Even better, they should self-update.

You can see why I have switched to Macs.

Oh, they thought about it, all right ...

They make a product just for this, so they are determined not to offer the
ability in the Office suite.

Sadly, that means we don't get it in the Mac either :-)

Cheers
