Markzware Calendar is a free XTension courtesy of Markzware. To view the Calendar, select it from the View menu. You can resize the Calendar palette by dragging at its bottom right corner.
When first using the XTension, you will be asked to personalize the Calendar by entering your name. Thereafter, you can change the title of the Calendar at any time by holding down the command, option and control keys and clicking on the month title box, and you will be prompted once again to enter your name.
To select a day, simply click in the day's box. It will then become highlighted and you can type in a memo for that day (up to 255 characters). A bullet "•" in a day box will signify the day contains a memo. Deleting the text from a day (you can use command-a to "select all", then hit the Delete key) will likewise remove the bullet "•" character.
You can change months or years by clicking the desired boxes. However, keep in mind that the memo you type will always correspond to the currently selected (highlighted) day. In other words, you can click and view other months, but if you begin typing a memo, it is for the originally selected day which may in fact belong to a different month than the one being displayed. So, if you are viewing different months, and you want to enter a memo for a future day, be sure to first click in that specific day's box.
If examining different months, you can go back to the currently selected day and month by clicking on the month title box at the top of the window. To go to today's actual month, hold down the command key and click on the month title box.
To clear all memos in a given month, hold down both the command and the option keys and click on the month title box. You may also delete (or rename) the file called "Calendar.file" located in your QuarkXPress folder in which case a new one will be created.
To save a day's memo to a text file, command-click the desired day. A dialog will be presented allowing you to also enter a date range and to select a long or short date format (such as December 31 1994 or 12/31/94). The resulting text file will list the days and memos and can be imported into your QuarkXPress documents. Each day and memo will be separated by a tab allowing you to format the page as desired.
