Hi there, Can anyone help me. I am looking for a way to make our monthly calendars larger. Letter size is hard for them to read. I am looking for a template or program that I can use regularly to make larger calendars

I use microsoft publisher. I print my monthly calendars 11x17. Then I will also enlarge in to 46x34 to put on the big bulletin board. It prints out on several pieces of paper and then we put it together. You can also go to kinko's to and enlarge it. I like to have it in color, and for me it costs to much to print it up at kinko's.
However, what program do you use now. May programs have a feature that you can change the paper size in your properties setting when the print screen enlarges.
Hope this helps

Hi,
This site has 4 different calendars that you can use to make your monthly calendars & newsletters plu slot more on the members.activitydirector.com'
The cals are letter size, what I use to do was take my monthly calendar to our Xerox machine & blow it up to 11x17. You can buy the 11x17 paper from any office supply store. This is the cheapest way to go on these calendars. I used these fo rthe res. rooms Then I would take a copy of the calendar to Kinko's & hav ethem blow the calendar up about the size of a poster. I had 1 made for every bulltein board in the facility. So it would depend on the size of your bulltein board as to what your expense would be at Kinko's.

Hi, Everybody! :-)
RE: Making 11x17 (tabloid size) calendars.
Most copiers will allow you to run this size paper. Often you must hand feed it into the copier. If you are lucky your copier will have a feed tray. Tabloid size paper is available at Office Max and Staples, and comes in a variety of colors.
Also, it is easy to enlarge your calendar from 8 1/2 x 11 to 11 x 17 by choosing a setting on the copier.
Best Wishes, ;-)

Im lucky as my printer in my office will print off an 11x17 calendar. I have a template that I use month after month and would be willing to send it to anyone who would need one. I then take the orginal to our copier and make the 100 copies we need. I then take it to Kinkos and blow it up to fit our big calendar holders. Its about 10 dollars for the two that I Make.

I was so fortunate that I had someone create a calendar off of Microsoft Excel for me 6 years ago and I have been using it ever since!

I also do my calendar on publisher, with a template that was created by my executive secretary. I just go through and change the info. each month, then I copy it to 11x17 size, fold it in half and include it with my monthly newsletter. The healthcare residents, I tape one to each of their closets whether they can read it or not, for family/visitor access to what's going on. I don't have an area to put one large calendar for display, so I post the 11x17 calendar on each units bulletin boards for staff to refer too, as well as give one to each director to place in their offices. I can't help you too much with the computer part of things, I'm not very savvy with it.

I have a large calendar template you can use. I made it on publisher. It prints on six 11x17, you then trim the overlap and glue stick it together. Give me your e-mail address.

I actually make my calendars and newsletters at home, using my Printmaster program; (Word tends to get quirky about changing the size of the squares and messing up the page) simply because I can think better there, and don't have Internet access at work. I then put in on a thumb drive and bring that in to our activity computer, which is an old computer from when our company switched to new ones, but is no longer on the system, no security problems that way. I had an older version of my Printmaster loaded on it so I can continue to add as needed. I can print it on 8x11, on a cheap printer hooked up, then take it to our copier and enlarge to 11x17 for the individual room calendars on their wall bulletin board. That is highlighted for each person's preferences for staff and for state's requirement; however, those who read are given a second copy, same size, to keep with them-too hard to read on the wall. The 8x11 size is included in the monthly newsletter. Our 2 hall calendars are actually amazingly nice - it's a grid that holds an 8x11 page for each day-those I just print out by page, make 2 copies and tack them up.
