Using Calendar Wizard 4.1
The main dialog of Calendar Wizard 4.1 is the only top-level dialog you will be dealing with. It contains all the controls needed to define calendar layouts, fonts, color, backgrounds, etc. As you drill down into properties of individual layout elements, secondary dialogs will appear with more options for a particular element, so the user interface is not cluttered.
The main dialog has a small live preview window which shows the current layout of the calendar you are working on.
If the preview is too small, the main dialog may be expanded to show a bigger preview picture. Just click the "Expand >>" button right below the preview:

The Current Date set of controls specifies the date of the first page of the calendar layout (if several pages are generated). You can specify the starting date and the number of pages you want to create. This way, you can create a calendar for one month, a year, or even five years in one shot.
In the Preset list you can pick readily-available calendar designs created for you. Calendar Wizard comes with a number of presets you can use to create your own design upon.
The Layout list specifies the calendar layout type you want to use to create your calendar. There are over 30 different layout types available to choose from. Depending on the layout type, different sets of controls may be available in Calendar Wizard.
After you specify all the parameters of your layout, click the Generate button to create the design in CorelDRAW document. When done, close the Calendar Wizard window and return to CorelDRAW where you can tweak your design even more by adding images, clipart, special effects such as drop shadows, transparencies, textures and finally print or export your design to a format suitable for final output.
