Getting Started with WINDIARY

When first starting WinDiary after installation, you will need to create a Data File for the current year. Start the program by running WINDIARY. You will see a blank calendar page with NO MONTH displayed in the month box. Now, click on the File menu and select New. A dialogue box will ask you to type in the year (no extension). You would, for example, enter 1993. Now,

the calendar page will display the current month and you are ready to enter daily data.

You may enter data for any month of the current year. Click on either of the month box [image]  arrows [image] or select from the Month Menu.

You may, in addition, create a file for any other year. As with the above, click on the File menu and select New.

Click on the desired day. The current day will be first be displayed in a yellow text box

with an asterisk [ * ] indicating the current day. In addition, the current day will be displayed

as a raised, 3-D box.  **Each month of the current year will also show a raised, 3-D

textbox corresponding to the current month's date.

This is an example of the current date displayed without data.

When you've completed entering your daily memorandum, click on OK and the text-entry

screen will close. If you typed 'Cool, sunny and nice today' and this is a normal day, your WinDiary Day Box will show Cool, sunny, with a CYAN background as seen in the

example above.

 This is an example of an IMPORTANT date; it will trigger an event alarm .

To export to Windows Write or Windows NotePad, click on the appropriate

totally up to you.
