Question
Hello. I made calendars last year as gifts. I used american greetings creatacard platinum8. I saved the calendars and this year needed to change some of the holiday dates. I could move a picture in a cell but like on Lincolns Birthday could not move the text or delete it. What have I done wrong? I double clicked and pushed delete and that didn't work. Goodness. Could you please help, I don't want to make the calendars all over from scratch. Thank you so much. Gladys

Answer
Hi Gladys,

It's been a long time since I used AG CreataCard and I have never used the calendars. However, if you used the calendars from last year, then the dates would all be 2005 and it makes sense that you won't be able to change dates around. Can you import the images from last years' calendars? Is it the fact that you personalized each month with family info? Can you do a "Save AS" and change the year to 2006, then maybe all the text would automatically shift to the new year. I can't say that this is a strong suit of that program, most likely just an added feature that Broderbund tossed in without thinking of how people would really be using the program. Sorry, but that's the best I can come up with. Good luck!
