Accessing a Calendar Template in Pages
Posted: Mar 25, 2008 12:46 AM
 

Hi, I am new to Pages,and I need to create an editable calendar for a Production Book. Is there a template I can access for this which is easy to populate?

Thanks,

Kevin

Welcome to  Discussions!

You might want to look at the Calendar Design function in iPhoto...there's a button for it at the bottom of the iPhoto window.

Hello, I, too am relatively new with Pages, but cannot seem to find a simple, printable calendar template such as what exists in appleworks. I read the tip about looking in iphoto, but I have no such "calendar button" and could not find it among any of the tabs at top either. I would dearly love to go ahead and buy the iwork package, but being able to easily print a calendar that I can pin to my office corkboard is essential. I am using appleworks that came with my ibook, and iphoto that also came with ibook, I believe iphoto version 4.0.3 My ibook is a G4 Tiger 10.4.11
Any help greatly appreciated

The current version of iPhoto is 7.1.3, so it is quite likely that the calendar option was added after version 4.

Go to iWork Community & do a search. I do believe I have seen user-contributed calendar templates available.

Thank you very much for the suggestion; I searched the forum you mentioned and found a few calendar templates for a whole year on one page and one that was one page per month, but when I opened it, the dates were covered over with plus signs. Any more suggesstions? In appleworks, it is very simple to simply use a "wizard" which will ask you the month and year, and font wanted, and allow a picture to be inserted. Seems simple enough, but I'm not a programmer, so I couldn't create this automated feature from scratch. I am only trying to migrate to iwork because I believe Apple will no longer support appleworks and their file formats are not so compatible. I do not want to buy any Microsoft Office product. Regards,

bonvie,

It's not free, but a good source for calendar templates can be found in Print Shop 2 for Mac at:

The + in cells merely means there is more data that the cell can hold. You can enlarge the cells or decrease the font size to accommodate the data.
