Open the Microsoft Word program. Create a New File, click on the small Windows icon on the upper left corner of the page, and click on New. This will open a dialogue box.
2. On the left side bar of the dialogue box is a set of categories you can choose from. Choose the calendar option.

c. Academic Year Calendars – for students and those who work in the academe, life begins (or ends) on September. This is a great promotional you can give away on September if your business caters to students or to schools, like Publishing houses, school supplies provider, etc.
d. Multiple Year Calendars - this is a small yearly calendar that fits in a single page. It is simply used to show the days of the dates in previous, present, and future year. When printing a full twelve month calendar, it would be a good idea to include this in the inside front cover.
