SUMMARY
Word includes the Calendar Wizard, which can create several
different calendar styles. The Calendar Wizard provides a quick and
efficient way to produce a generic calendar.
The Calendar Wizard does not allow you to enter text into the calendar. You
can, however, modify a calendar into which text can be added. The purpose
of this article is to provide some suggestions on what can be done to
modify the document the Calendar Wizard creates into a more usable format.
MORE INFORMATION- Run the Calendar Wizard by choosing New from the File menu. Choose
Calendar Wizard from the Template list and choose OK. Any orientation
and style calendar can be used, but we recommend you use the Boxes or
Banner style. You can also use the Jazzy style, but it is more difficult
to modify.
- After completing the Calendar Wizard, use the mouse to click on the
border of the text box to select the body of the calendar.
- From the Table menu, choose Convert Text To Table. Choose AutoFormat,
then select AutoFit. Select the format and choose OK. Choose OK again,
and the body of the calendar will now be converted to a table. The table
may contain empty columns or rows that may be unwanted. Select and
delete the unwanted columns and rows and remove any borders or shading
as required.
- The numbering of the days in the body of the calendar may contain a font
too large for the type of calendar you are creating. Select the cells of
the table that contain the numbered days, and set to the desired font
and point size (point size 14 is recommended).
- With the same cells selected as in step 4, set the paragraph formatting
Space Before to 6 pt. and Spacing After to 0 pt, or adjust the space
before and after to your preference.
Make any other adjustments to the table to obtain the desired results.
You can also enter text in the table cells, as in any other table. Either
let the text wrap in the cell or press SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line of
text within the cell.
