1. The file "calendar.dot" is a Word template intended for use with 
Microsoft Word97 or newer. The calendar template is used to "manufacture" 
a calendar view of a single month. It will automatically create a calendar 
representing the current month as defined by the system date of your PC. 
The date of the calendar shown can be changed by selecting the toolbar 
button "change date". This button will pop up a message box so you can 
enter a new date. Click "OK"  and the new date will be applied to the 
calendar. 

2. Be sure to extract the files in this archive onto a machine that has 
Microsoft Word already installed. Double click the Setup.doc to install the 
calendar template. If you or your network administrator has enabled 
"Macro Virus Protection", a warning to that effect will be displayed. It is 
entirely your decision whether or not to enable the macro to run on your 
machine. Be aware that most of the useful things that Word can do 
(like creating calendars) makes enabling Word macros necessary.

3. Within Word, select the file menu. Select "New". A dialogbox should appear 
that will display your Word templates. Under the tab marked "Other Documents" 
you should find one called "Calendar". Select "Calendar" and click "OK".

4. To change the date, click on the "Change Date" toolbar button. If this 
button is not visible, you can run the "ChangeDate" macro. Select the "Tools" 
menu. Select "macro". A pop up menu will appear. Select "macros" from this menu. 
There should be a list of the word macros available to you. Select "ChangeDate". 
Fill in you new date and click "OK". Please note, once you have sent or copied 
your new calendar to another Word user, the date of that particlular calendar 
can not be changed.
