     This is just a basic year planner for 1993, it has no fancy
bells & whistles or macros attatched to it. It is just intended as
a more portable alternative to the $40 planner you stick on your
wall. Oh yes, you can print it too.

Hints:

  1] All of the bars, text labels & colours can be drawn using the
"drawing" toolbar in Excel 4.0 .

  2] To create the bars, I suggest using the "filled box"
tool,(shown on the button in the toolbar as a filled square) this
enables you to stretch or shrink the bar to suit, also you can copy
the bar over a series of months or drag it over if you change dates.

  3] To change colours, use the "pallette" tool in the drawing
toolbar to cycle through the colors of your choice.

  4] To add a label use the "text box" button on the drawing
toolbar and size it to fit, I suggest using the "small fonts" font at
about 6 points. When you enter the text if it "drops off the edge"
you can stretch it to suit after the text is entered so you can see
it all. Again you can hold down the CTRL key and copy it to another
month if needed this saves typing it out all over again. Also you can
use the colour "pallette" tool to cycle through the desired
background colour of the box.

  5] You could get really flash and add buttons to certain days of
the month to fire up macros, spreadsheets etc if you wish.

  6] I have set it up on the OPTIONS*DISPLAY menu to have the row &
column headings off to give more screen to the planner, if you
want to increase the row height to accomodate more bars & labels,
or insert more rows to define different departments, projects etc,
you would need to turn row & columns back on to increase it. 
Likwise you could increase the coloumn width. 
 

           Have fun, and I hope this helps.
