Calendar program. How to make a calendar with your own hands - original ideas
IN Microsoft Word there is a large set of document templates different types. With the release of each new version programs, this set is expanding. Those users who find this not enough can download new ones from the official website of the program ( ).
One of the groups of templates presented in Word is calendars. After adding them to the document, of course, you will need to edit them and adjust them to your own needs. We will tell you exactly how to do all this in this article.
1. Open Word and go to the menu "File", where you need to click on the button "Create".
Note: IN latest versions MS Word when you start the program (not a prepared and previously saved document), the section we need immediately opens "Create". This is where we will look for a suitable template.
2. In order not to spend a long time searching for all the calendar templates available in the program, especially since many of them are stored on the Internet, just write in the search bar "Calendar" and press “ENTER”.
- Advice: Besides the word "Calendar", in the search you can also specify the year for which you need a calendar.
3. In the list, in parallel with the built-in templates, those that are on the site will also be shown Microsoft Office.
Select the calendar template you like among them, click “Create” (“Download”) and wait until it is downloaded from the Internet. This may take some time.
4. The calendar will open in a new document.
Note: The elements presented in a calendar template can be edited just like any other text, changing the font, formatting, and other settings.
Some template calendars available in Word automatically “adjust” to any year you specify, drawing the necessary data from the Internet. However, some of them will have to be changed manually, which we will discuss in detail below. Manual change It is also necessary for calendars for past years, of which there are also many in the program.
Note: Some calendars presented in templates open not in Word, but in Excel. The instructions described in this article below apply only to Word templates.
Editing a template calendar
As you understand, if the calendar does not automatically adjust to the year you need, you will have to make it up-to-date and correct manually. The work, of course, is painstaking and lengthy, but it is clearly worth it, because as a result you will receive a unique calendar created by yourself.
1. If the calendar shows a year, change it to current, next, or whatever calendar you want to create for.
2. Take a regular (paper) calendar for the current year or the year for which you are creating a calendar. If the calendar is not at hand, open it on the Internet or on mobile phone. You can also refer to the calendar on your computer if that is more convenient for you.
3. And now the most difficult, or rather, the longest - starting from January, change the dates in all months in accordance with the days of the week and, accordingly, the calendar you are focusing on.
- Advice: To quickly navigate through dates in the calendar, highlight the first one (1st day). Delete or change to the required one, or place the cursor in an empty cell where the number 1 should be, enter it. Next, move through the next cells using the key "TAB". The number set there will stand out, and in its place you can immediately put the correct date.
In our example, instead of the highlighted number 1 (the first of February), 5 will be set, corresponding to the first Friday of February 2016.
Note: Switch between months using the key "TAB", unfortunately, it won’t work, so you’ll have to do it with the mouse.
4. Having changed all the dates in the calendar according to the year you have selected, you can proceed to change the calendar design style. If necessary, you can change the font, its size and other elements. Use our instructions.
Note: Most calendars are presented in the form of solid tables, the sizes of which can be changed - just pull the corner (lower right) marker in the desired direction. Also, this table can be moved (plus sign in the square on the left top corner calendar). You can read about what else you can do with the table, and therefore with the calendar located inside it, in our article.
You can make your calendar more colorful using the tool “Page Color”, which changes its background.
5. Finally, when you have completed all the necessary or desired manipulations to change the template calendar, do not forget to save the document.
6. Be sure to print the calendar you created.
That’s all, actually, now you know how to make a calendar in Word. Despite the fact that we used a ready-made template, after all the manipulations and editing, you can end up with a truly unique calendar that you won’t be embarrassed to hang up at home or at work.
Nowadays it is very easy to buy a calendar for the next year at the market or in a store. Their choice is quite large: pocket-sized and wall-mounted, in the form of a notepad or flip-flop; colors, designs and the paper itself also differ. But if you want it to be unique, for example, with photographs of loved ones or friends, with marked dates that are important to you, the right size, then you can do everything yourself.
In this article we will learn how to make a calendar in Word, using for these purposes one of the ready-made templates, which we will change a little so that the result pleases you or the other person to whom you present your work.
Open Microsoft editor Word, this is best done through Start or the corresponding shortcut on the Desktop. I have 2010 installed, in other versions the menu appearance may be slightly different, but the principle of creation will be the same. Select "File" at the top and "New" on the left. Scroll down the list that opens a little and click on the item “Calendars”.
Then you need to decide on a template. The calendar will be placed on a sheet of paper or landscape orientation, shown in full or just one month, and the like. If you want the calendar to be for a specific year, then use the search bar.
If you haven't found it through search desired year, then you can do it differently. For example, the dates and days of the week are completely the same in 2007 and 2018. So, look for it for 2007, and then simply change this number to the desired one.
Once you decide on the look, select the template you want. It will open on the right in the preview area. There will also be a “Download” button - click on it. After the download is complete, the selected calendar will open in Word. Here you can work with it like with any other document: change color, size, background, etc.
If you have Word 2016 installed, then by going to “File” at the top and selecting “Create”, the window will look like this. In line "Search for patterns" you can find a suitable one on the Internet, or click on the word “Calendars”.
If necessary, select the appropriate year through the search, select the template and download it.
You can view all available calendar options on the official Microsoft Office website: https://templates.office.com/ru-ru/Calendars. By clicking on the link, a page with templates will open. At the bottom of each thumbnail it will say Word, Power Point, Excel, this is the editor in which it will open (that is, it was created in it). Choose one of the calendars made in Word and click on it.
Now you need to download the file - click on the appropriate button.
After that, go to the Downloads folder on your computer and open the document you just downloaded. My name was strange, you can see in the screenshot - a set of letters and numbers.
Now you need to exit Protected View mode. Click on the button.
The calendar will open in the familiar Word and you can work with it like with any other document. If you don’t need any blocks with pictures, select them one by one and delete them by clicking “Delete”.
Change the year. If there are several pages in the calendar that you have chosen, for example, 12 or 6, then you need to change it on each one separately.
Since it was created using a table, to make it easier to work, turn on the visibility of non-printable characters. There is a special button on the Home tab.
It is also convenient to display a grid to see the borders of the table. Place the cursor next to any date, and on the tab "Working with tables"– “Designer” select “Borders” and the desired item in the drop-down list.
If you want to change the width and height of cells for dates, months, or days of the week, then it is convenient to do this on the “Layout” tab. Select cells and enter specific values for them in the appropriate fields.
If you have chosen a template in which the dates and days of the week do not correspond to the appropriate year, you need to change the numbers in the cells. Put italics in the cell, delete the old value and write a new one. To navigate, use the “Tab” button (located on the left of the keyboard, there are arrows drawn on it different sides). It will automatically move the italics to the next cell and you can type the number.
If a value was entered in the adjacent cell, it will be automatically highlighted and all you have to do is print a new one.
After you change the cell sizes, change the numbers, table sizes, you can turn off non-printing characters and, on the “Layout” tab, remove the selection from the item.
Let's move on to change appearance calendar In the article Formatting in Word, read how to change the font and size of letters, make it italic or bold, change color and more.
Choose a different font for the months. First, select it, and then look for the one you need in the list.
Change date size. Select them one by one each month and choose the appropriate value.
In the same way, increase or decrease the names of the days of the week, change the font for them.
If you chose a simple template, fill the page with color. On the tab "Page Layout" Click on the arrow on the “Page Color” button and select the appropriate one from the list.
Instead of a solid color, you can set a picture as the background for the calendar. I described how to put a picture as a background in Word in the corresponding article.
You need to choose an image for the background carefully so that all dates are visible on it. Or, on the Home tab, change the text color for numbers, months, and days of the week.
To highlight the month name, fill this cell with color. Select it and in the menu quick access Click on the paint bucket, then click on the appropriate option.
