2008 Calendar Tempate -- does one exist?
Posted: Dec 27, 2007 7:17 AM
 

I am currently using an Excel calendar template to print out monthly calendars for work. It works pretty well, but I'm dying to bag off of MS Office and this is the one task I haven't been able to do with iWork.

Just curious if anyone knows of any monthly calendar templates for Numbers (or Pages, for that matter).

Thanks!

Helpful

Not actually a calendar.

For a financial spreadsheet I wanted to have the date of the first day of the week (=Monday) at the top of a column.

It worked well in AppleWorks, but after converting it to Numbers it didn't.

So I created a new way of calculating the day from scratch. It also calculates leapyears. Somehow I lost track how I did it, so don't ask for help :)

Here's the the webpage with the file.
Here's the movie

It's in Dutch, so use your imagination.

Hope you can progress from there.

Well, I sort of answered my own question. The Excel calendar template I was using previously had all sorts of macros in in that Numbers didn't like.

I went to M$'s template gallery and downloaded a new Excel 2008 calendar template that I opened up in Numbers and it appears to work great.

For those who might be interested, the URL is: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101425391033.aspx

(However, their site is VERY Mac-unfriendly - it needed some Active X plugin that neither Safari or Firefox has. In order to actually download the template, I had to go to a Windows computer and do it from there...).

Wyodor,

How did you get the actual February 2004 calendar (looks like iCal) into your template?

I am using the Pages Hawaii Vacation itinerary template and cannot find a way to add a calendar to the page.

Several calendar oriented templates have been posted at the Numbers Templates site. Check these and poke around for others:

It's an illustration. If you download the .dmg you can see for yourself.

If you look at the image of that calender, you may very well use my weekday calculations. No need to type in the day manually. All the numbers are there. Only need a table with the names of the day. And some calculations to display the days in the previous and next months.

Here's the final result.

You only have to translate the names of the days and the months and replace the illustrations on the calendar sheet.

The pages are A4, so you may have to adjust that too.

After that, you change the year and whether you want Monday or Sunday to be the first day of the week.

Hope you like the result.
