Creating a Calendar

[Babel17DELANY]

I am using Microsoft Publisher 2000 on a machine running Windows 98 to
create a twelve month calendar of events. Each month is a separate page.
When I change the appearance of January, the other eleven months also change
identically. This is desirable when I create the color and the location of
the date numbers.

Unfortunately, every time I change the size of an entry in a date box, some
of the previously entered words and numbers in other months also change, and
often not in the same manner. This can render some words too small to read
and other words too large so they are not seen at all in the date box.

Is there a way to, after creating the initial calendar grid, stop having
changes I make in one page (month) be carried over to other pages (months)?

If there is not, I will have to re-create each of the twelve months
separately so as to not have one affect the other.

There isn't an easy way when you use the Wizard... Open a new instance of Publisher,
insert eleven pages, copy and paste each page from the calendar to the new
publication, then make your edits.

That is what I guessed I'd have to do. But Publisher is so confusing I
couldn't even figure out how to copy a page from the twelve month calendar
to a new publisher. How do I do that ?

You can open Publisher any number of times and have them active. In the second
publication, page setup, select landscape, insert 11 pages. On each calendar page,
click Edit, select all, click the copy icon, go to publication two, click the paste
icon.
The color may change, click format, color schemes, choose a scheme that you like or
in the original calendar select the color scheme the wizard used by opening the color
scheme dialogue.

I ended up making twelve separate Publishers, one for each month. It was
the only way I could get entried I put in one month to not change the fonts
in the others.
