SUMMARY
If you create a calendar for the year 2000 AD using the
Calendar PageWizard Design Assistant, the calendar displays February with 29
days in it. This number of days is correct, as 2000 AD is a leap year.
MORE INFORMATION
According to the Gregorian Calendar, century years (1800,
1900, and so on) are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400.
Therefore, 1900 AD was not a leap year, but 2000 AD will be. Similarly, the
year 2100 AD won't be a leap year, but the year 2400 AD will be.
