### 7.1.3 New/Create Calendar

Create Calendar is used to create calendars. You have the choice between a monthly calendar and a calendar for a full year.

The settings for the new calendar are divided in 3 sub-dialogs:

- Type
Type defines the basic appearance of the new calendar. The most important decision is whether a weekly, a monthly or a full year calendar should be created.
Aside from that you have to decide whether the week of the year should be displayed and whether special days should be shown. Special days can be managed by clicking Change... (see below).
- Page
Page defines the page size of the new calendar. Additionally you can define the font, that will be used for headlines and for the days in the calendar. The size of the text will be calculated automatically depending on the page size, but it can be modified later.
- Color
Color allows to change the color of all parts of the calendar. Optionally the text in the calendar can have a colored background.

The created calendar is fully editable: you can change the font, the size or add pictures.

Special Days

PhotoLine can insert special days in a calendar. Special days can be personal dates or holidays.

The Special Days dialog controls which special days are entered. It is opened by clicking Change.... In this dialog you can

- create a new special day with a fix date or relative to a base.
- modify or delete special days.
- load or merge a file defining special days.
- save the current special days to a file.

The special days are organized in groups which can be chosen without restrictions. You can choose an existing group in the dialog for creating new special days from a combobox. Entering a new name will create that group.

All special days can be selected and edited separately.

Every special day and every group is preceded by a switch. Activating this switch shows this day or the whole group in the calendar.

The file structure for merging a file is simple:

D[D].M[M].[YY|YYYY],["]Name["]

The new data will be inserted in a group with the name of the file.
