Are there any calendar software programs that have a monthly calendar that lets you type notes in each day box AND let you print it out?

I did a spreadsheet in Excel with a macro that will show you the current month. The only thing is that you have to number each day by hand. . .

I can send it to ya if you want. Assuming I can find it, that is.

You can do it with Microsoft Word.

Open Word.

On the File menu, click New…  
Click “Other Documents”  
Double-click “Calendar Wizard”

Once you’ve set the options and the calendar file is created. You can type into each day cell on the calendar. You can also change the text font and size just as you normally would in Word.

Mozilla just released Sunbird 0.2.

It’ll do what you want and it’s free.

I opened Microsoft Word and clicked new, but didn’t find “other documents”. Can you point it out to me? Maybe it’s in another place possibly?

I’m using Word XP. In this, when you select “New”, there is a pane that opens on the right titled “New Document”. There is a “New from Template” heading, and under that “General Templates …”. Select this and look for the tab “Other Documents”. In mine, there is a Calendar Wizard template. You can also select “Help” and ask the paperclip about calendars.
