Options
Options Menu

•	Today's Date	Ctrl-D - Selecting this option moves the calendar back to today's date. This option can also be selected by right-clicking on the calendar or clicking on the button with the sun on it on the button bar.

•	Daily Journal...	Ctrl-J - Selecting this option brings up the daily journal. This can be used to keep notes you wish to make on a daily basis, just like a diary. This option can also be selected by right-clicking on the calendar or clicking on the button with the hand holding the pencil on it on the button bar.

•	Display All... - Selecting this option displays all of the appointments and to do items that have been collecting since, well you know when you started using Calendar+. Selecting an appointment or to do item here enables the delete button so that deleting old items is a snap. Deleted items can then be removed by using the Backup and Restore functions.

** IMPORTANT ** - any appointments or to do items deleted here can not be undeleted so be warned and be careful.

•	Print Calendar... - Selecting this option presents you with a snapshot of your calendar ready for printing. The calendar will be printed exactly as shown. Select Print|Calendar to print the calendar or Print|Exit to return to Calendar+.

Hint - Setting the calendar colors to black and white prints a crisp calendar to a black and white printer, while going crazy with colors will print exactly as shown to a color printer.

Another Hint - Since all printers print differently, adjusting the size of the Print Calendar form adjusts the size of calendar as it's being printed. The present size of the form (640 x 480) prints the calendar approximately 3/4 of the width of the page on a dot-matrix printer.

•	All of the above choices can also be accessed from the popup menu (right-click) on the calendar and the button bar.
