Q: Creating a printable calendar with iCal

Can I create a printable calendar from June 2016 to May 2017? I'd like a portrait layout with the months/dates all listed on one page. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi J,

     

    You've posted this question about iCal (now just "Calendar") in the Numbers community. Calendar is part of the system software supplied with OS X, and the community for your version of Calendar is in the community for your version of OS X. I'd request a transfer of your question to that community, but you've not mentioned what version of the OS you are using.

     

    Regarding your question:

    You may be able to. It depends your printer. The largest unit that the current version of Calendar will print to a single 'page' is one month, but your printer may be capable of placing many of those 'pages' onto a single sheet of paper.

     

    Mine will place 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages on a sheet of US letter size paper, so you would be able to fit May '16 to July '17 onto one sheet. You might have some difficulty reading the dates, though, as the type size  is fairly small to start with. I didn't see any place to choose page orientation, and the default is portrait, rather than portrait.

     

    The basic steps are:

    • Open Calendar.
    • Uncheck any set of events (work, home, etc.) that you do not want included on the printed calendar.
    • Press command-P to open the Print dialogue.
    • Choose the options shown in the dialogue (Your choices may differ).

    • Click Continue.
    • At the bottom of the dialogue, click Show Details to view the options for your printer.
    • Explore the pop-up menus and set to what you want, including 12 (if available) or 16 pages/sheet and the 'layout direction.'

    Done.
