SUMMARY
Microsoft Word provides a Calendar Wizard for creating calendars. The
wizard does not prompt you to modify character formatting such as font,
point size, and so forth. This article describes how you can use the
Calendar Wizard to create your own custom wizard.
NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or
templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and
constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed,
by Microsoft.
MORE INFORMATION
To create a new, modified calendar wizard, follow these steps.
NOTE: The Calendar Wizard is not installed when you do a complete
installation of Office or Word. It is available on the Office or Word
CD-ROM in the "\Valupack\Template\Word" folder. Copy the template from the
CD-ROM to the following folder on your hard disk drive: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Other Documents.
- On the File menu, click Open. Change to the "\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Templates\Other Documents" folder or to the folder that contains
the Calendar Wizard.
In the Files Of Type list, select All Files. In the File Name list,
select the Calendar Wizard and then click Open. On the File menu, click
Save As and type a new name for the wizard. Any formatting changes you
make will now be stored in your new wizard.
- On the View menu, click Page Layout.
- NOTE: The Calendar Wizard is composed of AutoText entries which
correspond to the styles listed in the following table. Before you
insert and modify an AutoText entry, change the page orientation to
either portrait or landscape to correspond with the calendar style.
To modify the page orientation, click Page Setup on the File menu,
then select the Paper Size tab. Select Portrait or Landscape based
on one of the following calendar styles:
NOTE: The names of the AutoText Entries are listed in the columns
labeled Portrait and Landscape.

- On the Insert menu, point to AutoText, and then click AutoText.
Select the AutoText tab. Choose the AutoText entry that corresponds
to the calendar style you are creating, and then click the Insert
button.
NOTE: Each AutoText entry contains both drawing objects and text boxes.
These drawing objects are visible only in page layout view or print
preview. (You will see a blank page after you insert the AutoText
entry if you are working in normal view.)
- Click the Show/Hide button so that it is enabled, display table
gridlines (on the Table menu, click Show Gridlines), and turn on
Bookmarks (click Options on the Tools menu, select the View tab,
click to select the Bookmarks check box, and then click OK).
NOTE: Do not delete any of the bookmarks. If these are deleted, the
wizard may not function properly.
- Select the text or table cell in which you want to make changes
(be sure the end-of-cell marker or paragraph mark is also
selected). Make your formatting changes, such as changing the font or
point size, adding bold or italics, and so forth. When finished,
cancel the selection by clicking in the margin of the document.
- On the Insert menu, point to AutoText, and then click AutoText.
Select the AutoText tab. Select the AutoText entry that you
previously selected in step 4. Click Delete to delete
the old AutoText entry. Click Close to return to the document.
- Click the Drawing button on the Standard Toolbar to open the
Drawing toolbar.
- Click the Select Drawing Objects button on the Drawing Toolbar.
Starting in the upper-left corner of the template, click and drag
down and to the lower-right corner to enclose the entire document
area. A dashed line appears as you are dragging to enclose the
objects.
- On the Insert menu, point to AutoText and then click AutoText. Select
the AutoText tab. In the Enter AutoText Entries Here box, type the
AutoText name using the same name as the AutoText entry you deleted
in step 7 and click OK. In the "Look In" list, select the template
you saved in step 1. Click Add and then click OK.
- With the document still selected, click Cut on the Edit menu. You
should now have a blank page with a single paragraph mark at the
upper left of the page. If you have any text or more than a single
paragraph mark, delete these items. Click Save on the File menu,
and then close the template.
NOTE: The diskette version of Word does not contain the ValuPack folder.
This wizard, and many more for Word, may be downloaded from Microsoft's
