Working with Text 145
Inserting a calendar
The Calendar Wizard helps you design month-at-a-glance calendars for use in
your publication.
The calendar is created as a scalable text-based table so you can edit text using
the standard text tools. The properties of a selected calendar are similar to those
of a table, and can be modified identically (see Manipulating tables on p. 140).
Like custom table formats you can create your own custom calendar formats.
The wizard lets you set up the month/year and calendar style/format, and
controls the inclusion of personal events and/or public holidays. The Calendar
Event Manager lets you add personal events before or after adding a calendar
to the page.
If you have adopted a calendar-based design template, you'll be initially
prompted to configure global calendar details via a User Details dialog. This
updates all calendar details throughout your PagePlus document—in the same
way that you'd set up the date (along with the time) on some alarm clocks.
For calendar-specific properties, a context toolbar lets you change an existing
calendar's month/year, modify calendar-specific properties, and manage
calendar events (both personal and public holidays).
At any time, you can update calendar details throughout your publication via Set
User Details—in the same way that you'd set up the date (along with the time)
on some alarm clocks. This is especially useful if you want to update the year on
a year-to-view page, composed of 12 monthly calendars—you only need to
change the year in one place.
