Using Wizards to Format Objects

To demonstrate how a custom wizard works, this section shows you how to format Ms. Koury's calendar page:

1.      In the Page Sorter, click page 2 to display the Calendar page, set a vertical ruler guide at 192 px, and drag the lower-left corner of the Calendar object to the 192 px ruler guide.

2.      Right-click the calendar, and then click Wizard For This Object (or select the calendar, and click Wizard For This Object on the Format menu). The Calendar Designs task pane displays Calendar Design options.

3.      In the task pane, click a calendar style. (This project uses the Watermark calendar style.) The calendar is reformatted to match the selected style.

4.      In the task pane, click the Change Date Range button, select a month in the Start Date drop-down list, and then click OK. The Calendar heading and dates update automatically.

5.      Click Font Schemes in the drop-down list of task panes, and click the Online font scheme in the Font Schemes task pane to apply the Web site’s font scheme to the calendar item.

6.      Select all the Sundays in the month, and then click the Accent 3 (Orange) color in the Fill drop-down list on the Formatting toolbar.

7.      Select all the Saturdays, and then fill them with the Accent 3 (Orange) color.

8.      Select two consecutive weekdays of your choice (the 24th and 25th are selected in the walkthrough sample site), and then fill them with the Accent 2 (Gold) color.

9.      Click any weekday (the 8th is selected in the walkthrough sample site), click the Font Size drop-down arrow on the Formatting toolbar, and select 8.

10.  Hold down SHIFT and press ENTER, and then type Project Due.

11.  Using 8-point text, add No School! to the gold-colored calendar dates.

12.  Save your changes. Your calendar should look similar to the calendar shown in the figure.
