How about using a macro containing the following code. It will ask you what
year you want the calendar for and then create a planner type calendar for
that year.
' Macro created 11/14/98 by Doug Robbins to make calendar
' Modified 11/29/98 to add shading to weekends and "non-date" cells. '
Dim Message, Title, Default, Calyear, Thisyear, nyday
Thisyear = Year(Date)
Message = "Enter the year for which you want to create a calendar" '
Set prompt.
Title = "Calendar Maker" ' Set title.
Default = Thisyear ' Set default.
Calyear = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)
