Have text on the calendar reoccur every 28 days

[Guest]

On a calendar template, is there a way to have text reoccur every 28 days?

Your best bet for this is to use the calendar function in Outlook. You can
easily set up recorrences there.

Yes, but how? I looked through the calendar templates, typed in
"reoccurances" in the Help function and it returned nothing. I have no idea
where to go to receive instructions on setting up a reoccurance.

In Outlook (not Word), go to Calendar.

Make a new appointment (File>New Appointment).

Click the "Recurrence" tab at the top and set it to whatever you want.

Hope that helps!

Sorry, you were referring to Outlook. My mind is set on Word.

The calendar in Outlook will not help, as I am developing a calendar which
is used as a schedule for my employees. I am hoping to design a
calendar(which actually looks like a calendar) that lists their specific
projects on the due dates that occur every 28 days. For example, once every
4 Tuesdays they are to submit expenses. This would appear the first time in
the January 3 block and then again in the January 31st block.

If I used my calendar in Outlook, it would not have the appearance of a
calendar. It would also incorporate my personal meetings/appointments as
well.

If you don't know of a way to accomplish what I need, please know I
appreciate your responses regardless.

Thanks for your help.

Actually, Outlook really IS perfect for what you want.

When you are in Calendar mode, go to File>New>Folder. Type a name for your
new calendar (Employee Deadlines or an individual employee name) and make
sure "Contains" says "Calendar Items".

You'll have a new blank calendar that you can add whatever recurring dates
you want to (and it won't have your personal info on it). You can repeat
this for each employee if you want.

I use this feature to make personal calendars for all of our interns who
have specific individual projects and deadlines.

Heidi, I am trying to save or export the calendar I created as or in a
document. The "save as" function is grayed-out and the options for exporting
are only to excel and access.

I need to be able to pull up this calendar on a public drive (not just in my
personal). It needs to appear like a calendar (like a calendar template in
Word).

Any ideas???
