Just double click on the event on your Calendar and change each one. Unfortunately, the behavior in Calendar Creator 12.1 seems to be limited on a per item basis so it may be a lengthy process to change them all

You can change the properties of events (e.g. font), but it has to be done one category at a time. In my example, one of my categories is Inventions. Events| Categories... (or Ctrl-t) brings up the Categories box. I click on the Inventions category, then click on the Event Properties button. A dialog box opens which allows you to make mass changes to that category.

Do this for each category.

Anytime you manually change any feature of any event, later changes that are made to the Category for that event will not be applied to that event.

I find it to be easier and quicker to change the font size of an event by clicking once on the event, then clicking on the arrow next to the font size in the top toolbar at the top of the screen.

Again - I am not doing a monthly calendar, my view is YEAR, I even created a new calendar, added an event and could not change the font size or even the font

Can you give me the steps for changing quick style, because the only thing that I can change in quick style is the background, I can't change specific event fonts

Status: offline 		I think we're all in new territory here. I don't use the Year View myself, and it works differently from other views in many respects, so the usual edits don't apply.

I see that we addressed a question similar to yours a while back:
http://forums.encoreusa.com/fb.asp?m=48007

I don't see any way to edit QuickStyles. They may have been tied into the calendar Wizard. When you scroll to the bottom of QuickStyle choices, there's an option to "Add." The problem: there isn't an option to add a QuickStyle for the Year view. You can select and apply choices one at a time and see if one suits you, but that'll be a tedious process. You could save the current view as a QuickStyle as a backup.

Other users may have had success with Year view modifications and could post after the question has been on the forum longer. I can poke around in the program over the weekend, but am not optimistic that there's a flexible solution.

No, there doesn't appear to be a way to specify font properties in a Yearly Planner. I can only choose a quick style that may have font properties that I like. Here are three examples of different quick styles.




To apply a new quick style:

Calendar| Calendar Properties... choose from the drop down menu.

Status: offline 		Here are steps that may do what you want:
Select your Year view.
From the menu, choose Layout:
Apply QuickStyle.
Pick a choice you like (or even one you don't in order to test).
Click Apply.
Close.
Right-click any Event.
Choose Properties.
Choose the option in the Layout Object Properties window to "Set Properties of..." and choose Event from the drop-down.
Choose a font and font size.
In my testing, I chose Arial Narrow (Western) and size 10. Change the alignment to your choice, if needed.
Click OK.

If this acts to do what you want, then spend time selecting a QuickStyle that you like and tweak as necessary.

Year View Event font size

I hope the method worked for jimruffatto, from the original post.
