Where is the calendar wizard?

X

I have recently migrated from PC to Mac. I have purchased office 2008 for mac. On the PC version I very frequently used a calendar wizard that automatically filled in the days and dates after you pick the month and year. Then you can add info to each day as necessary. I need an autofill type calendar like the office pc version. Is this absent on the mac version? if not, how do i use it? If it is absent, why on earth isn't it there? It was the most convenient thing about word.... I'm not big fan of iCal. Any help would be appreciated... thanks.

I've always thought the best way to do this was to enter the information you
want directly into the Entourage calendar, then print it, or save it to a
web page somewhere if you want the rest of the office to be able to see it.

I also had a hunt around in the Project Gallery. The Template offering for
Office 2008 are not yet very impressive (they're adding more all the time).
There is a calendar there, but it's static and not a Wizard.

So I had a little play with it. I copied it into Excel, where I replaced
the calendar part with a formula-driven table that makes it update
automatically to the current month each time you open it.

You can upload a copy from here:

You can do anything you like with it, provided you do not upset the formulas
in the cells that have formulas in them :)

Hope this helps
