    Default Editable calendar

    The tables feature should now make it easier to set up an editable calendar, but I'm wondering how best to do this...start from scratch with days of the week as columns and somehow insert a number and text box into each cell? Or superimpose a table onto one of the calendar templates? I'll probably need only a few words maximum in cells.

    You could start with table 6 and grab the middle blue control handle on the right side of the table and pull it over to the left to reduce the table down to one column. grab the bottom middle handle and pull it up to reduce the table to one cell and one heading. set heading colours and text styles for your Calendar and the pull out the side and bottom to add columns and rows back in until you have enough for the calendar. Now you can edit the text in each cell.

    Thanks - You added the numbers manually or superimposed a table over a calendar template? I ideally want the numbers to be fixed and an editable text box.

    yes I added the numbers manually. The text boxes are live text boxes and you can still click and add text to them. I put together a step by step tutorial. the method is a bit fugdity but it works.

    Hi Angelize,
    This is just what I need - many thanks - but sorry if I'm being thick, but where do I find table #6 in the content catalogue?
