I need to make a birthday list for my club that fits on 1 page
(portrait-oriented letter-sized) that would list all 12 months in blocks on
the page (3 blocks across and 4 blocks down) and let me fill in the day under
the month with a member's name next to it; i.e. in the January block, there
would be 31 days and some of the days would have the member's names next to
the day's numeral. (Some days migfht be left blank if no one had a birthday
that day.) I have Office and Excel so the template can be for either. Thanks
for any help. Tabby

Unless I am missing something here you want 4 blocks down with 30 days or so
under each. That's at least 120 lines. No way will anyone read that sheet.
Also I suggest using excel group as its more a spreadsheet item than a word
thing.

Oh heavens yes, use Excel. Excel also makes it easier to fit to one page,
though this still may be unusable as you describe it.

Excel also has AutoFill magic!

Why would "no one read it if it was 120 lines?" I don't understand. This is a
page I want to print out, I can do it in WordPerfect easily but the leader of
the club has only MS software and wants it in an MS file so she can change it
as necessary. This page would be printed out for each member of the group. I
was just trying to figure out a way to do it with MS software..... I can fit
a 120 lines on a single page of WordPerfect stuff by using smaller fonts,
adjusting margins, lead space, and line height, I just thought I should be
able to do it somehow with MS software.

You can do it. It just seems that to fit 120 lines on a page, the font will
have to be so small that no one will read it, and/or the margins so small so
that it will look very busy, and no one will read it.

Excel will make this task easier.

WordPerfect will save into .doc format or .rtf format, either of which your
club leader would be able to open in Word.
