Make January default month in CC 12 Deluxe? - 3/27/2015 6:46:44 PM    avidgamr   Posts: 13 Joined: 3/27/2015 Status: offline Every time I try to create a new calendar (year specifically although I don't think it matters), it *always* uses the current month from the current date as the starting point. For example: I tried to create another calendar today (or import an old one); it made a March 2015-February 2016 calendar. I don't want that. I *always* want January to December. To get around this, I've always had to change the current date on my computer to January temporarily but that also changes all file dates on *everything* that is saved in the meantime. And if I forget to change it back, every file date is wrong from that point on! So, my question is, does any one know a way around this? I searched the forum and couldn't find my question but maybe I didn't use the correct search criteria? Thanks! Post #: 1

That is caused by the fact that Calendar Creator is designed to be an open-ended calendar which can extend into both the past and the future. When you are ready to print your calendar, you would select both a specific Start Date and End Date to create an annual calendar. If you are working with a yearly calendar, it is possible to set that yearly calendar to start at January, or any other month you desire, by doing this: After you select the Year view, you would do this: 1. If your project is displayed with more than one page, scroll to the left - to the first page of the Year view. 2. Right click on the events in the center of the first page of the Year view (DO NOT right click on the small calendars), then select 'Properties' from the menu that drops down. 3. When the 'Layout Object Properties' window opens, click on the 'Miscellaneous' tab. 4. On the Miscellaneous tab, change the date in the 'Start Date: month/year' box. 5. Make sure the desired number of months is selected in the 'Number of Months' box. 6. Click on the 'OK' button to return to the workspace. (in reply to avidgamr) Post #: 2

FWIW, I'm almost always importing (open an existing) yearly calendar. Hardly ever do I create a new one... In step 3 you list "Misc." tab. I don't see that. I only see "Style" and "Picture" tabs. What am I missing? Thanks again for helping! Attachment (1) (in reply to Ettie) Post #: 3

Right click on the events in the center of the first page of the Year view (DO NOT right click on the small calendars), then select 'Properties' from the menu that drops down. " Since you are not seeing the "Misc." tab, that means that you did not right click on the events. Attachment (1) (in reply to avidgamr) Post #: 4

Please note that even though my calendar is a two-page calendar, I am posting only the first page. Attachment (1) (in reply to Ettie) Post #: 5

I re-read your post and figured out that I needed to create an event (and enable said event list), go back to the year calendar view, right-click the event list and choose properties and then I had the misc. tab available. Worked great! Thanks! At least that lets me avoid changing the system time to get a correct calendar! (in reply to avidgamr) Post #: 7

RE: Make January default month in CC 12 Deluxe? - 4/13/2015 8:33:55 PM    avidgamr   Posts: 13 Joined: 3/27/2015 Status: offline For the record (for those with the same problem): Just wanted to mention that I bragged too soon. When it printed the calendar it still started from the current month regardless what was shown on screen. However, when I clicked the "Print" button I noticed that there was a section called "Time Range" that allows for month change that will change what is printed. Rather strange having to change it there, but if you don't it ignores what your calendar looks like and prints from the current month regardless. Verified fixed! Yea!

The "Time Range" you mentioned has been a requirement since the very first version of Calendar Creator. (in reply to avidgamr) Post #: 9
