When it comes to making a calendar in PowerPoint, you first need to open this program. This should bring up the default screen with a new template, when you see this, go to the very top of the screen and under file, click new.
When you have done this you then need to click the button twice that says calendars. This should be located under available templates and themes. When this is done, click on the folder that states 2011 calendars or if you have something else in mind choose one of the other folders that are there. When clicked on, it should bring up a presentation where the calendar is shown and each month can be view separately.
If you have a selected month where you need to add special occasions to it, then click on the selected month from the slide deck which is situated on the left hand side of the screen. This should bring up a large view of the month selected.
To add text to a selected date, move to the top of the screen where it says insert, click this, and then click on where it says text. Now click on the date where you want to add your text, this should then allow you to insert your words.
Write in what you have to remind yourself of and if you want to make it stand out then highlight the words.
