Nice idea - I hadn't thought of 'On This Day' though I do already use the calendar feature in 'Second Site' for web site and CD-ROM distribution. I had initially ruled them out because their output is in HTML; my first thoughts were that editing a page in HTML for output to PDF for the printer might be more complex than simply editing in Word. However, you certainly have given me food for thought there, though I will need to sharpen up on my (marginal and very rusty) HTML editing skills! [snipped] Thanks again for an elegant bit of 'thinking outside the box' - just the sort of thing I was looking for! Tom
Tom, "On This Day" (OTD) has a "Make Calendar for Year" feature that makes a calendar in HTML. The output is not designed to be printed, and the program doesn't offer a lot of control over the graphics. Also, the program was written a long time ago, and the HTML is low-quality. Some of that was due to the many issues with browsers back in 2001, including spotty support for CSS, but also my lack of rigor creating the HTML. You can try using the HTML produced by OTD as a starting point, but you will have to edit some HTML to make progress. If you are going to pursue that option, let me know. I will get you a version of the program that produces better HTML/CSS. John

I used OTD many years ago to create the calendar for a year. Yes, it was in HTML, but I used copy/paste to create a word file. From there, it was fairly simple (tho' a bit tedious) to get the result I wanted. With macros, it would probably be easier, but since I was only doing it the one time, I didn't bother. In any case, the result printed a nice calender for the family. Lee
