Add months to custom calendar template

[sewhidbey]

I've created a custom calendar template for Publisher 2007.
The problem is that when I invoke the template under "New" the option to add
months -- "Options" in the right-hand frame has disappeared.
Thus, the ability to print more than one month no longer exists.
Is this a defecit of the program or is there a solution such as adding the
custom template to the main template location, rather than My Templates?
Help?
Thanks

Have you tried to open the publication without going through the "new" option?
It will open as a template and the calendar options should be available by
clicking "change template."

Hello:

What happens when I do that is that it reverts to the underlying Publisher
template that I altered. When I bring up "Change Template" the screen that
comes up shows only the preformatted templates. Thus the choice that are made
are reflected only in that template which is then applied to my template no
matter what choice I have made.
Have you tried your suggestion and does it work successfully?

Thank you

Yes I have. What happens when you select "change template" you are taken to the
template page, on the right you can change the date range, when you click okay,
a dialogue comes up asking if you want to apply the change to the present
template.

This is not true, the dialog box asks if you want to apply the new template to the existing text in your document. This loses all the customisations in the calendar as you cant reselect your custom template. I am still struggling with this one right now and see no option but to create the calendar using a standard template for all months, then individually recustomise each page. This totally defeats the purpose of creating a custom template.

You cannot use the same template for the entire year. This is why I suggest
using text boxes for events. You are replying to posts from 2007.
