Use Calendar Builder to quickly and easily make a custom calendar. Supports recurring birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. Add borders, banners, graphics, and icons.

Pros: Calendar Builder helps make a customized calendar quickly. This package helps create these calendars and then helps out with the printing of the same. There are several layout to choose from, actually eight options are available. Similarly there are day planner layouts also, some four alternatives are possible. The basic layout is a grid of dates with some mini calendars on top. The mini calendars are for previous and following months, for example, in the 2 mini calendar option. Landscape or portrait orientation and paper size such as letter or A4 can be chosen on the layout set of options. Page sizes are limited to these two only though.

The arrangement of the options is a little unusual, but is quite effective. There are a set of tabs. There are tabs for layout, date, font and color, mini (for the mini calendars) and color, headers, lines, planners, language, margins and borders. Tabs are laid out at the bottom horizontal side of the interactivity area. Though unusual this too is quite effective.

It is possible to add borders, graphics, icons etc. There is a list of border style available. The calendars can be saved as BMP or JPRG files for use in other web pages or other programs. It can support recurring birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc.

User interface is quite simple and easy to use and learn.

Cons: Border designs are not very effective, though there are quite a few options available.

Overall quite a good package for creating these simply styled calendars and getting them printed. Works quite well for this purpose and is rated at 3 stars.
