Appointment book...how to design in Word2003
every year I run around looking for an aoppointment book to fit the hours I
work (usually use week at-a-glance but I really need a full Sat and Sun day schedule). I have printshop21....but the idea of putting a time at every line and copy that to each day...plus it won't let me print to the edge of the page (new version may). I need to make a grid, have thicker and thinner lines to sep. hours and 1/4 hour segments and make the lines in shades of grey (something else I can't do in PS)...if the time spent changing each columns date will be OK in light of having a book fit to my needs (I say so now anyway).... I imagine I can have it set in a spiral at Kinkos or something.... can I do this in Word? or is there a better program for it..... |

You seem to have defined the problem and worked out the solution, so I'm not
sure where the question is here. -- Suzanne S.

The question is can I do this in Word, is there a templet? I don't have the
knowledge to begin and don't know where to start. "Suzanne S.

This is doable in Word, but not necessarily most efficient in Word.
For templates, check he http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...s/default.aspx If I were doing this myself, just for printing (and I probably wouldn't bother), I might start with Excel, and modify the existing grid. So you might also check Excel templates, should be on the same site. Re changing the date, I would probably use Fill Series in Excel to create a list of all the days in a year, and then use the Data Merge function in Word to generate 365 copies of the grid in a new document, each with the appropriate day filled in. But you might also just google for calendar programs, and see if anything turns up that seems to do what you want. Not sure if there are any out there.

Doable in Word but hard work. Definitely a task for Excel.

Thank you... OK, excel, easier to copy time columns too....One thing I've never figured out in Excel...how to make sure that my design will fit on a page...Excel seems to change the shape of it.....in Printshop you're given a "page" size work area.....so I know what I do had better fit that.....does Excel have a feature for that? It must, I can't find what it is called.... can I chose the color the grid prints in Excel? I didn't think so.....
