Yeah, Outlook is overkill for your needs. If the PDFs you found at your
link meet your needs, use them. The Word templates have one advantage
(along with being free) - they'll work for other years too.
If you do decide you need an electronic calendar try the google calendar.
You need a gmail account (free) but it’s a decent, easy to use calendar and
supports reminders if you decide you need them. You can also print the
calendar out. (Hotmail and yahoo also have free calendar services. )

Hi Diane:
Many thanks indeed for your fast response and excellent help -- much
appreciated!
I'm going to explore the link you generously provided as it's become clear
to us that, where we're concerned, using Outlook for something like a
simple
planner / calendar is like using a Hummer to go shopping. Too big, too
powerful, and with far more on offer than we need (or even understand!)
I've spent quite some time today hunting around the Internet for planner /
calendar software but though I did find some, the prices being asked were
silly.
And then, by chance, I stumbled across this website which I'd never heard
of
befo
http://blog.econsultant.com/free-pri...o-ads-no-logos
I've been able to download various sizes of planners / calendars in Word
doc
format, so on-screen text easy is proving incredibly simple.
Obviously, Outlook is a tremendous tool but I now belatedly appreciate
that
for retirees like us who don't have business commitments, appointments,
engagements, alarm calls, conference calls, etc etc, all we actually
needed
was a simple text-entry, printable, 7-day calendar / planner.
Am off to take advantage of your help re that link of yours now, so,
again,
many many thanks for your kindness!

Would tasks work for you? You can create a monthly grid view of tasks.
FWIW, if you just need a printed calendar sheet to write in, there is a
word
template which will work nicely, with or without outlook. Two are listed
at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar_print.asp. On that page are
other
addins which may handle printing in a manner which better meets your
needs.
