Forgot to add; you can copy the monthly, paste to Writer, resize, then
copy the next month & do the same. You should be able to arrange several
on a single page (two probably works best for readability). When you
want to add an event on a day, just double-click the day & again
double-click the day. You can then type the event. Then click outside
the Calc box & it will return to Writer. Or you can pre-do the event
info in the monthly calendar for the month(s) and then copy & past to
Writer. Doing it in Calc first is easier to see, etc.
