Each month we, the template folks, comb your comments in the hopes of finding issues that we can fix. Sometimes it's the template which is faultly and other times, we find all that's required is a little education.
Back in May, we published an Any year calendar creator in Excel 2007. Many comments came in saying that it was broken because the dates didn't automatically populate when the year was changed. One thing to try if this happens is to make sure Excel 2007 is set to automatically calculate.
I also wanted to take a moment to introduce a new flavor of the Any year calendar called the Perpetual yearly calendar.
Please let us know what you think and keep those comments coming!
We just added a new feature to our web site called "Community Tips." This feature is for you - so that you can add comments, ask questions, and give advice about using our templates to other Office Online visitors.
