Creating a calandar

[cjd]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
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
