album

In the PowerAlbum application that comes with SI Swimsuit Calendar, an album is a collection of snapshots of picture files. Use PowerAlbum to select a picture file by looking at pictures, rather than selecting a picture by filename. Other options let you add or delete pictures, arrange pictures in categories, or use the find function to select an image.

Centers event or title between the left and right margin or column


application

Another term for a software program. SI Swimsuit Calendar is an application. In Windows, you can open and work with several applications at the same time. Use the Switch To option on the Control menu to access other open applications in Windows.


ASCII text

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. An ASCII text file is a standard set of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks accepted by most applications. An ASCII text file does not include any embedded formatting codes, such as codes for boldface or type size. In SI Swimsuit Calendar, you can save ASCII files two ways, in a Windows and non-Windows format. Select columnar or comma-delimited ASCII format if you want to use the file with other Windows applications. Select DOS columnar or comma-delimited format if you want to use the file in DOS applications.


auto-save

A feature that automatically saves your work after a specified number of minutes.


banner

The banner option places the event in a long box at the bottom of the day cell, extending across all the days when the event occurs. The banner can only hold one line of event text and does not display notes or pictures.

When there are several banners in a group of day cells, the longest banner is placed at the bottom.


box

This option places a box around the event on each day or time that it occurs. The box can either fit around the event text and its attached note or around the border of the day or time cell when the event occurs.


calendar

In SI Swimsuit Calendar, a calendar is a graphic way of representing divisions of time, such as the days in a week, a month, or a year. A calendar may also show events that occur on specific days.


calendar pictures

Pictures you add to the upper-left or upper-right corners of a calendar or big pictures added to the upper-half or facing page of a form. SI Swimsuit Calendar can display and print pictures in these file formats: BMP, CGM, DRW, EPI, GIF, JPG, PCX, PCD, TIF, WPG, and WMF.


calendar window

click

To press and release a mouse button in one nonstop motion.


clip art

A picture that is stored in a single file. SI Swimsuit Calendar comes with a large selection of sports related clip art files (graphics files) that you can add to individual events, an event style, and the calendar title, or attach to a layout as a big picture. SI Swimsuit Calendar can import pictures with these file formats: BMP, CGM, DRW, EPI,GIF, JPG, PCX, PCD, TIF, WPG, and WMF.


Clipboard

The Clipboard temporarily stores a selected item so you can move or copy it to another location in the same file, from one file to another, or from one application to another. Copying a new item to the Clipboard replaces the previous item.

You cannot use the Clipboard to paste pictures from other applications into SI Swimsuit Calendar.


columnar ASCII file

A special type of ASCII file you can import into SI Swimsuit Calendar to create an event list. A columnar ASCII file must have at least two columns, one with the name of the event and the other with the date of the event (for example, 10/1/93). Each column must be separated by spaces, not tabs or commas, and must be exactly the same length.

In SI Swimsuit Calendar, you can save ASCII files two ways, in a Windows and non-Windows format. Select Columnar ASCII format if the file was created by another Windows application. Select DOS columnar ASCII format if the file was created by a DOS application.


comma-delimited ASCII file

A comma-delimited ASCII file must have at least two entries for each event, the name of the event and the date of the event (for example, 10/1/93). Each entry must be separated by a comma. Unlike columnar ASCII files, each field does not have to have the same length.

Select Comma-delimited ASCII format if the file was created by a Windows application or you want to use it with a Windows application. Select DOS comma-delimited if the file was created by a DOS application or you want to use it with a DOS application.

Zoom command


Prepare for double-sided printing

In order to do double-sided printing, you must enter the following information about your printer in the Printer Trays dialog box:

How paper feeds into the input tray

How paper reappears in the output tray

The type of manual feed guide

How landscape printing rotates the printed image

You do this as part of the printing process the first time you do double-sided printing. Choose Trays in the Double-Sided Print Setup dialog box.

Tip:	Most problems with double-sided printing are related to the options selected in the Trays dialog box. Make sure you have selected the options that truly describe your printer. For example, some printers allow you to switch between face up and face down output; check to see which you are using.

To learn about your printer

Consult the documentation for your printer or try this exercise.

1	Load one sheet of letterhead paper in your printer face up and head in.

2	Print one-page of a calendar or of any other document. How does the paper come out of the printer? Is the paper in the output tray face up or face down?

3	Is the printed side is on the same side as the letterhead? If it's on the same side as the letterhead, the paper goes into the input tray face up. If not, it goes face down.

4	What direction was the printing done in relation to the letterhead? If it's in the same direction, the feed direction is head in. If not, it's head out.

5	Try printing a one-page document first in portrait, then in landscape. For landscape printing, does the printer rotate the image to the right or the left?

Paper and form size

Select a predefined page or form size from the Paper Stock list. You cannot type dimensions into this text box.

To print multiple calendar forms on a page, choose a form size such as Two/page.

To print an InstaBook, you must select a paper stock that can print an even number of forms in the binding direction (top or side) that you want to use.  For example, if you are printing two forms on a page, in portrait orientation, you must choose Top binding.

To add a new paper stock definition, choose Add.

To change the dimensions or margins of an existing paper stock definition, choose Modify.

Note: 	When the page or form size changes, the type size of the calendar text should adjust to stay in proportion. If it does not, the Scale Layout Fonts When Form Size Changes option in the Preferences dialog box may have been turned off. Choose Edit | Preferences to open the dialog box and turn it on.

Page orientation

Choose Portrait or Landscape to change the direction in which the calendar forms are printed on the page.

This automatically changes the size of the form. Type size and margins should adjust automatically if the Scale Layout Fonts When Form Size Changes option in the Preferences dialog box is turned on.

Margins

Choosing a different paper or form size or page orientation automatically adjusts the margins around the calendar form. You can adjust them further if necessary. Type or select the margin width.

Note: 	This is a temporary adjustment. To permanently change the margins of the selected paper stock, choose Modify.

Dealing with overflow events
Correct overflow events

An overflow occurs when there are too many events to fit into a day cell or time cell. The program applies layout overflow options to the event text in order to fit as many events as possible into the available space. When space runs out, the remaining events can't display or print in the calendar, so they "overflow."

When the calendar in the calendar window has an overflow, the overflow tool [image]  on the calendar window control bar changes color and tips over. Day cells with overflow are marked with a triangle in the lower-right corner.

How to deal with overflow events

Print the calendar anyway

The calendar will contain all the events that can fit in its day or time cells. You can choose to print the overflow events on separate pages after each calendar page, using the text layout. You can also choose to print a marker in each day cell that has overflow events.

Choose another layout

Some layouts have larger day cells than others. Look for a layout that covers about the same time period, and can accommodate all the events.

Edit or reformat the events that do appear

Click the overflow icon or use the View | Go To | Next Overflow command to locate and select the overflow day cells in the calendar window. Edit the event text or use the Format | Font command to change the text size.

Edit or reformat the overflow events

Click the down arrow overflow symbol in the day cell to display the overflow dialog box or choose View | Display Overflow. Select each overflow event and choose Modify, Font, or Picture to edit or reformat it.

Use Priority to rearrange events

If some untimed events are more important than others, use the Format | Priority command to assign a higher priority letter to the events you want to show in the calendar. A is the highest priority, Z is the lowest. Events without priority appear last.

Switch timed and untimed events

By default, timed events appear before untimed events. If the untimed events are more important, choose Layout | Layout Options | Appearance and choose Show TImed Events After Untimed.

Change the automatic overflow correction options

SI Swimsuit Calendar automatically applies formatting options to the events in the overflow day cell in order to display as many events as possible. You can turn individual options on or off, and you can modify some of them. Choose Layout | Layout Options | Overflow to find them.

Use insert fields to update events and notes

You can add an insert field that automatically updates information in event text or notes. For example, you can add a field that counts birthdays or a field that inserts the date of the month.

Insert fields can count years, birthdays, or the days left in a year. They also can display such things as a filename, a dotted line, or a date in Hebrew. The &rem insert field lets you display an event with formatting or a picture, but no text.

Examples:

Insert Field	You type this	Calendar shows this

&birthday	Dustin's &birthday	Dustin's 7th birthday

&date	Printed on &date	Printed on 10/1/94

Note: 	Some insert fields can be used only with calendar layouts, not events.

1	In the event name or note box, type any text you want, then place the insertion point where you want the insert field to appear.

2	Click the & button.

Tip:	If you know the exact spelling, you can type the insert field. Use & as the first character of a field. Use a space or a special character, such as a slash (/), as the last character of the field.

3	Select the type of information you want to insert from the Topic list.

4	Select an insert field from the Field list. The Description box explains what the field will display in the calendar.

If you add a count field to an event name, you must also add a repeat rule to the event.

Note:	The field must be followed by a blank or a special character like /.

6	Complete the process of entering the event or the note.

Set style conflict preferences
Set rules for event style conflicts

An event style conflict occurs when an event list you are trying to open contains a style name that also appears in the program's style menu, but the type specifications that define the two styles are different. By default, the Event Style Conflict dialog box appears every time this happens so you can decide how to resolve the conflict.

To avoid seeing the dialog box, change the default style conflict resolution in the Preferences dialog box.

To change the current style definition to match the event list style definition

When a style conflict occurs, the events assigned that style in the event list(s) that are already open will change automatically to match the style in the event list you are trying to open. The change remains in effect as long as the event list is open. To make the change permanent, save the event list(s).

1	Choose Edit | Preferences.

2	Choose Always Use Event List Style.

To change the event list style definition to match the current style definition

Automatically adjust calendar layout font size

When you change the form size or margins of a selected layout by .5 inch or more, the type size of the calendar text (titles, footer, weekday names, and so on) changes in proportion to the form. This adjustment is controlled by the Scale Layout Fonts When Form Size Changes option in the Preferences dialog box.

The option is on by default. If it is turned off, the calendar type size does not adjust when you select a different form or change the form margins in the Page Setup panel. For example, if you change from an 8.5 x 11-inch form to an 8.5 x 5.5-inch form, the calendar titles, footer, weekdays, and numbers will remain large.

To turn the font scaling option off or on

1	Choose Edit | Preferences.

General

How do I create an event without an event name?

You must always enter an event name. Do not use spaces for an event name. If you want the event to be just a picture or special effect like Shade Day, with no text, use the insert field &rem as the first characters of the event name.

How do I enter a time for an event that spans midnight?

When entering an event, you cannot specify a time period that spans midnight: for example, 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day. If necessary, enter two events with the same name: one ending at 11:59 p.m. and the other starting at 12:00 a.m. on the second day. (Midnight is the beginning of the day.)

How do I select more than one event?

If you are using the event list window sorted by date, you may experience problems when attempting to select multiple events by using the mouse techniques SHIFT+Click, Click+Drag, or CTRL+Click. To select multiple events with the mouse, sort the event list by name.

Can I use extended characters in path names?

You should not enter extended characters, such as characters with accents, in the Pictures and Event Lists default path fields in the Preferences dialog box. If your path name includes letters that are normally accented, The SI Swimsuit Calendar will probably find the path if you enter the letters without accents.

My dates have leading zeros, for example, June 09.

I want to change the way times display.

The SI Swimsuit Calendar uses the date and time formats selected in the Windows Control Panel. To change the display of 06/09/93 to 6/9/93, or 08 AM to 8 am, go to the Windows Control Panel, open the International dialog box, and choose the Long and Short Date Format you want. Consult your Windows documentation for more information on how the formats work.

My events are not printing in the proper order.

Make sure that you have not turned off the am/pm option in the International dialog box of the Windows Control Panel. With the am/pm option off, The SI Swimsuit Calendar cannot tell the difference between am and pm event times. You may, however, reduce the options to single letters, a and p.

QuickDate is not usable.

If you are using an SVGA graphics card and specify high resolution (800x600 or above), QuickDate may not work correctly. Switch to a VGA graphics card driver.

The calendar window display is distorted.

To correct the distortion, click the page number icon in the lower- left corner of the calendar window. This acts as a screen refresh button.

Bannered events overlap each other onscreen.

Click the page number icon in the lower- left corner of the calendar window or change the time period displayed and then change back to the original time period. This should clear up any display problems with bannered events.

I am updating read-only files and I cannot get rid of the Event Style Conflict dialog box.

When working with a read-only file that contains event style conflicts, you may see the Event Style Conflict dialog box every time the file updates. To avoid this, do one of these:

Choose Use Event List Style to resolve the style conflict.

Use only the standard styles (unmodified) that came with The SI Swimsuit Calendar when creating event lists that will be shared by more than one person.


Repeating Events

The OK button is dimmed in the Repeats dialog box.

If you entered an end date with the event, the end date may have been incorrect. If by accident you enter an end date that it is earlier than the start date, you cannot save the event.

The birthday/anniversary insert field did not count correctly.

Check the start date of the event. It must be the year of the birth or the wedding. Make it repeat every year.

The count field did not count the birthday/anniversary correctly.

If you are using &count to count birthdays or anniversaries, enter the year after the birth or the wedding as the start date. For example, if the person was born on November 20, 1958, the start date should be November 20, 1959.


Notes

I try to use the Font dialog or the up/down font size buttons on an event that has a note but the note does not change.

The font for all notes in each layout is set on the Event Display panel in the Layout Options dialog box. There you assign a style to be used for all notes. If you need to change the font for notes, you must change this style.

My note(s) did not display.

Check both the note (Events | Modify | Note) and the Layout Options | Event Display boxes. Show notes must be turned on in both places. If the note still does not appear, it may be due to overflow corrections. Check Layout Options | Overflow to see whether the Hide Notes option is checked. If it is, then The SI Swimsuit Calendar may be hiding the note because it is too large to fit in the dialog box. Try reducing the font size or editing the text to make the note smaller.


Formatting Events

I cannot get my events centered or right-justified in year or text layouts.

Alignment does not work in these layouts. All events will be displayed left-justified.

I cannot see my text in the Font dialog box preview area.

You may have chosen white as the color of your text. Since the background of the preview area is white, white text will not show up in it.

The shading color or pattern I chose for Banner Event, Shade Day or Box Event does not appear on the calendar.

Check the shading pattern selected in the Banners dialog box. If the selected pattern is Clear (no pattern), no shading will appear, regardless of the color choice you made.

How can I shade or box a day without entering text for an event?

You can apply special day effects (Box Day, Shade Day) by using the nonprinting insert field &rem for the event name, and then selecting the effect in the Banner dialog box.

My event text and notes do not fit the day cells in the same way as they did in The SI Swimsuit Calendar version 1.x.

With this version of The SI Swimsuit Calendar, you can specify variable border sizes for day cells. If you are printing a calendar created in a previous version of The SI Swimsuit Calendar, you may find that the day cell margins are slightly bigger, so that the event text and notes wrap differently in the new calendar. To change default margin size of day cells, see the EventMargin section in the POWERUP.INI file, described in the README file.


Multiple Event Lists

When I combine event lists from different people in a calendar, there is no way to see whose event is whose.

Here are two suggestions for dealing with this problem.

Adopt a convention for naming event lists so that the name of each list includes the initials of the person who created it. The event list buttons on the view bar will identify the owner of the list. If you want the identification to appear with the events, add the insert field &filename to the event name or to a note. Or, enter the initials in the Description field of the Save Event List As dialog box when you save the event list. You can then add the insert field &filedesc to the event name or note.

Create a unique event style for each person to use when creating or editing event lists that will be combined into one calendar. The different styles will identify the owners of the events. This is most effective when you have a color printer and each person's style includes a distinctive color, but using different fonts will also work.


Layouts

In the year or text layouts, I cannot select events in the calendar window.

Because these layouts do not have a grid as part of their design, you cannot select individual events in the calendar window. Display the event list in the event list window and select the events there. If you have several event lists open and are not sure which one contains the event you want, use the Find option (Edit | Find) to locate the event. Or, switch temporarily to the month layout so that you can select the event.

Bannered events appear under the starting date only.

Bannered events appear in the year and text layouts under the starting date only; the ending date becomes part of the event name. If you wish to have a duration event appear on each day, you will have to turn the banner option off for that event.

I spent a lot of time formatting my calendar, but when I changed layouts, some of the formatting disappeared.

Layout options apply only to the layout selected in the Layout Options dialog box. For example, if you select options for the month layout, they will have no effect on the week layout.

The insert field text for a calendar title/footer appears in the sample box, but the insert code appears in the calendar.

If the insert field places something like &line in a calendar title or footer instead of a line, it means that the field is reserved for event text only, even though it may display the line in the preview sample box. Insert fields marked For events only will not insert variable text in the calendar titles or footer.

The Paper Stock list in Page Setup does not contain any paper sizes.

Check to see that you still have the POWERUP.INI file. If you have renamed or erased the file, you have lost some filters and specifications that you need to import or enter paper sizes. Reinstall The SI Swimsuit Calendar to create a new POWERUP.INI file with the paper size specifications.

The events appear in type sizes I do not expect.

If the events in a date box appear in different type sizes, it may be due to overflow corrections. When the Reduce Event Text Size option in Layout Options | Overflow is checked, The SI Swimsuit Calendar adjusts the event type size in order to fit as many events as possible into the date box.

No events appear in my InstaBook.

The event text may not fit into the InstaBook date boxes, so that all the events overflow. Try entering a lower number in the Scale Event Size field in the Layout Options | Event Display, or try changing the minimum type size in the Overflow panel. You may also need to edit some events to shorten the event text to a couple of words. If these measures do not work, try choosing a layout with larger date boxes.

Weekday names and day times do not appear in the calendar window.

You may have selected a background color for the day names or the times that is the same color as the type. In the Layout Options dialog box, choose Titles & Pictures to select a contrasting color for the Weekday, Hours, or Minutes text or choose Appearance to select a different color for the area.

I don't want the minute increments to appear in a day or week schedule calendar.

Change their font to the same color as the background, or to a very small point size.

The shading color or pattern I chose for an area does not appear in the calendar.

Check the shading pattern selected in the Appearance panel of the Layout Options dialog box. If the selected pattern is Clear (no pattern), no shading will appear, regardless of the color choice you made.

If the shading appears in the calendar window, but not in the printed calendar, it may be because it is a light color, like yellow. Some printer drivers print light colors as white. Select Print in Black and White on the Print dialog box and try printing again.

To see how the various shading options look when printed on your printer, create and print a set of monthly calendars from January through June, 1995, using the included event list, SHADING.CCE.

Sometimes events of lower priority appear when higher priority events do not.

This may happen if the higher priority event was too large (font too big, text too long, or picture too big) to fit in the date box. It will overflow, and if there is room, a lower priority event may appear in its place.

My screen shows some events over printing lines in other events.

This is due to differences in the way Windows displays screen fonts as opposed to printer fonts. The printed calendar should be correct.

When I apply a QuickStyle my styles and calendar text (title, subtitle, footer) change.

Whenever you apply a QuickStyle, the current styles and calendar text are overwritten. Apply QuickStyles first, and then change styles and calendar text as desired.


Pictures

The picture I attached to the event disappeared.

There are several reason why a picture can disappear.

The picture display may be turned off. Select the event and choose Format | Picture to see if the Don't Display option is checked. If all pictures have disappeared, choose Layout | Layout Options | Event Display to see if Show Pictures with Events has been checked. Also check the Overflow options to see if you have specified Do not Display Event Pictures.

If an event has an attached picture, and you assign a different event style that does not include a picture, the picture will no longer be attached to the event.

The picture is in the wrong color.

Double-click on the picture to see the Layout Options dialog box. Click on the Picture... to the right of the appropriate picture options. Check the Use Specified Color setting to make sure it is set to what you want.

I can't import a picture, either in PowerAlbum, the Modify Picture dialog, or the calendar window.

If you have installed another SoftKey Windows product, such as Text Appeal, after installing The SI Swimsuit Calendar, you may have difficulty importing pictures. Try reinstalling The SI Swimsuit Calendar. If you have problems with Text Appeal after the reinstallation, call Technical Support.

Pictures print as white rectangles on shaded days.

This sometimes happens when bitmapped pictures, such as PCX, BMP, or TIF files, appear in a date box that has been shaded. The pictures may display correctly on the screen, but do not print. Either turn off the Shade Day option or choose different type of picture.

Big Pictures take a while to display and print.

Big pictures, particularly large or 24-bit images, can take a long time to display and print. You may want to use a graphics application to reduce the size of the picture or the number of colors used in the picture before importing it into The SI Swimsuit Calendar.

There is a black box around my Photo CD picture that was made from a slide.

This border is part of the Photo CD image, and The SI Swimsuit Calendar cannot eliminate it. If you do not want the border, use a graphics application, such as Adobe PhotoShop for Windows, to crop the picture.

When I place a background picture in a layout with three or more columns, the graphic looks as if it is not attached to the event.

The graphic is centered across all columns, while the text may be in the left or right column.


Printing

Some of my pictures look funny when I print them.

If the Print In Black And White option is turned off in the Print dialog box, then the printer driver is controlling how the colors get mapped to black and white. If you have the Print In Black And White option on, then The SI Swimsuit Calendar attempts to convert colors to black or white. Most light colors (yellow, gray) will go to white while the darker colors print as black. However, some pictures that have similar colors may become illegible. You may need to use another picture or use a graphic editing program to change the picture.

I have problems with events not displaying correctly using True Type on an HP III or HP IV printer.

You may need to turn on the Print True Type As Graphics option. In the Print dialog box, choose Printer Setup. In the Windows Print Setup dialog box, choose Options. Check the Print True Type As Graphics option.

Characters are missing from large print jobs on an HP III printer.

Try printing fewer pages at a time by specifying a shorter time period or fewer copies. Also, try switching to the HP LaserJet II printer driver.

Text in reverse type (white on black) does not appear when I print at 150 dpi.

Print the document at 300 dpi; the text should appear.

Color text printing does not work properly.

Some printers may not print color text correctly. In some cases, lighter colors are interpreted by the printer as white, and therefore do not show up. Change the text color to a darker color or black using the Format | Font command, or try turning on the Print in Black and White option in the Print dialog box. Calendar grid lines in light colors may also disappear and may need to be changed as well.

I am having trouble with double-sided printing.

Do not try to outsmart the printing process. Duplex printing of multiple forms on a page is a very complex process; it can also take a long time. The results almost always look incorrect until the entire process is finished. Follow the instructions exactly. Do not switch input trays in the middle of the print job. Do not remove paper from the printer early or disturb the order of the printed pages. If you still have trouble, make sure you have defined the printer trays correctly in the Trays dialog box.

I have a real duplex printer, like the HP IID, and want to print double-sided.

You must use Print Setup from The SI Swimsuit Calendar Print dialog to set up your printer as a duplex printer. Select your printer, press Options and set up your printer as either a long or short edge duplex printer. In The SI Swimsuit Calendar Print dialog, make sure you select the Double Sided radio button. The options on the Double Sided dialog will then be used to print your calendar.

Note:  You should not use small paper sizes when printing duplex on a duplex printer because it may jam. You need to use forms that are positioned on a regular letter-size piece of paper.

I chose a multi-form page layout, but I still cannot choose InstaBook in the Double-Sided Printing dialog box.

You must choose both a multi-form page setup with an even number of forms in the direction of the binding and the correct binding option before you can select the InstaBook option.

When I print the Layout On 2 Pages option single-sided, the left margin is larger than the right margin.

When this layout option is printed double-sided, the larger margin remains on the inside, or binding side, of the paper. The larger inside margin allows room for punching holes in the pages outside of the printed calendar, so that you can place the calendars in a binder. To make the margin even, choose Format | Page Setup and change the left and top margins.


Importing and Exporting

I cannot import text/graphics.

Check to see that you still have the POWERUP.INI file. If you have renamed or erased the file, you have lost some filters that you need to import files. Reinstall The SI Swimsuit Calendar Windows.

The imported file does not contain any events.

If the file does not contain any events that occur between the dates specified in the Date Range box in the Import Fields dialog box, no events will be imported.

All the events in my imported file have the same start date.

You must assign a date field to one of the columns in the Import Fields dialog box. Otherwise, all records will be imported with a date equal to the start date entered in the From field in the Date Range box.

Calendars copied to the clipboard and pasted into other Windows applications do not look right.

Some applications do not handle shading, color, big pictures, and background pictures properly when you paste an image from the Clipboard. If you have problems pasting a calendar into another application, you may want to turn off all shading in the calendar before copying it. Also, white text on a solid background may not display properly.

You may have trouble pasting calendars that have graphics into certain applications. You can paste the calendar into a graphics application like Micrografx Designer, copy it to the clipboard from that application, and then try to paste it into another application.

If you use the Clipboard Viewer to examine the image, it may not look correct, but it should appear correctly once you have pasted it.

Error 1
1. Cannot register class. Save your files, close other applications and try again.

Windows is probably running out of memory or hard disk space. Save your workspace and any event lists that you have added or changed. Exit from The SI Swimsuit Calendar and Windows. Then restart Windows and The SI Swimsuit Calendar and start working again without opening any other applications. If you have continuing problems that appear to be memory-related, you may have to revise your system configuration to free up memory.


Error 2
2. <> does not contain a valid event list.

If you get this message when opening a workspace, it means that the event list associated with the workspace is not in the directory it was in when you saved the workspace, and it is not in your default event list path. If you know where the event list is, try opening it with File | Open. If you cannot open the file directly, it is not a true event list. Perhaps you overwrote it with some other file.


Error 3
3. <> is not a valid CCPlus Version 3.0/4.0/5.0 file or does not exist.

You have most likely (a) mistyped the file name, or (b) typed the name of a file that is not in the Calendar Creator for DOS format.

Tip:  Maybe you have misunderstood how to bring data from Calendar Creator for DOS to The SI Swimsuit Calendar. You should save your event list as usual in Calendar Creator for DOS. Then open or import the file like any other event list in The SI Swimsuit Calendar.


Error 4
4. Cannot create workspace file.

This may mean that the drive to which you are saving the workspace file is out of disk space. Or, if you are trying to save the default workspace, its location is set in the POWERUP.INI file, and the path name may include an invalid drive.


Error 5
5. Error writing to workspace file. Make sure there is enough disk space.

If you are running out of disk space, consider deleting some clip art. Many programs come with clip art, and you may never use some of these images. Use PowerAlbum to look at the many clip art files you have accumulated, and to delete ones that you think are unnecessary.


Error 6
6. Internal error - missing event list.

Exit The SI Swimsuit Calendar and Windows, then restart and try again.


Error 7
7. Error adding event to event list

You may have exceeded the limit of 8,000 events or 64,000 occurrences per event list. Try deleting some unneeded events or entering an earlier Default Ending Year in the Edit | Preferences dialog box.


Error 8
8. Invalid filename.

File names can be up to eight characters long, with a three character extension. They cannot contain any of the following characters: * + [ ] | \  : ; ? / > . < ,. Many upper ASCII characters, such as accented characters and graphic symbols, are also inappropriate for file names. See your DOS manual for further details.


Error 9
9. Save aborted - Error creating file.

The SI Swimsuit Calendar could not write the file to the disk. If you are running out of hard disk space, consider deleting clip art that you do not need.


Error 10
10. Not enough memory to complete operation. Save your files, close other applications and try again.

Windows is probably running out of System Resources (memory or hard disk space). Save any data (such as event lists) that you have added or changed. Exit from The SI Swimsuit Calendar and Windows. Then restart Windows and The SI Swimsuit Calendar and start working again without opening any other applications. Also try deleting or archiving unneeded files to regain more disk space. If you have continuing problems that appear to be memory-related, you may have to revise your system configuration to free up memory.

Reduce the amount of memory you use within The SI Swimsuit Calendar by using the Select File command instead of PowerAlbum to import a picture. Reduce the number of years covered by your event list in order to reduce the repetitions of repeating events. (Change the Default Ending Year, in the Preferences dialog or delete outdated events by using the Delete Events Before dialog.) Print fewer months at a time. Use fewer graphics, no color, and fewer typefaces.


Error 11
11. <>is not a valid event list file.

This may mean that there is no such file, or that the file is corrupted.


Error 12
12. <>is already open. Another copy cannot be opened.

You cannot have two copies of the same event list open at one time. To work with two copies, use Save As to save a copy under a new name so you have two separate lists with the same data. You can edit the contents of either list without affecting the other.


Error 13
13. <>does not contain a valid workspace.

You are trying to open a non-workspace file as a workspace. Workspace files always end with a .CCW extension.


Error 14
14. Event list list box out of memory. Save your files, close other applications and try again.

There is not enough memory to display events in the event list window. Exit The SI Swimsuit Calendar, close any other applications that may be open, restart The SI Swimsuit Calendar, and try again.


Error 15
15. Style NORMAL cannot be deleted.

Normal is the default style in The SI Swimsuit Calendar (Windows version), and the program uses it frequently. Do not try to delete it.


Error 16
16. Too many styles to add another.

You have too many event styles. You must delete a style before you can create another.


Error 17
17. Sorry....unimplemented feature.

This feature has not been implemented. You cannot use it.


Error 18
18. Invalid style file - Previous styles removed.

Some information has been lost in the CCSTYLES.CCY file. Style information is also stored in your event lists, so the information will be restored when you open an event list that uses that style.


Error 19
19. Error adding new paper stock.

You may be out of hard disk space.


Errors 20-25
20. Invalid form top origin.

21. Invalid form left origin.

22. Invalid form width.

23. Invalid form height.

24. Invalid page width.

25. Invalid page height.

Messages 20 to 25 appear because you entered:

A negative number, letter, or other nonnumeric character for one of these form dimensions.

A page width or height that is too small to contain the forms.

A form width or height that is too large to fit on the page.


Errors 26-29
26. Invalid top or bottom margin value.

27. Invalid left or right margin value.

28. Invalid right or left margin value.

29. Invalid bottom or top margin value.

Messages 26 to 29 appear because you entered:

A negative number, letter, or other nonnumeric character for one of these form dimensions.

A margin so large that the calendar cannot fit in the form.


Errors 30-33
30. Form width is too large or too many forms on the page.

31. Form width is too small.

32. Form height is too large or too many forms on the page.

33. Form height is too small.

Messages 30 to 33 indicate that the custom form you are creating will not work with your current layout and page size. For example, if you try to squeeze too many forms onto a page, The SI Swimsuit Calendar would have to shrink them so much that it could not print a readable calendar.


Errors 34-35
34. Form top origin is too large.

35. Form left origin is too large.

The origin sets the top left corner of the form. If it is too large, the form would print over the bottom or right edge of the page.


Error 36
36. Unable to display dialog (low memory).

Windows is probably running out of System Resources (memory or hard disk space). Save any files that you have added or changed. Exit from The SI Swimsuit Calendar and Windows, and restart Windows and The SI Swimsuit Calendar, without starting any other applications.

You can reduce the amount of memory you use within The SI Swimsuit Calendar by simplifying your calendar. Reduce the number of years covered by your event list in order to reduce the repetitions of repeating events. (Change the Default Ending Year, in the Preferences dialog or delete outdated events by using the Delete Events Before dialog.) Print fewer months at a time. Use fewer graphics, no color, and fewer typefaces.


Error 37
37. Invalid print copy count.

Enter a valid number in the Copies field in the Print dialog box.


Error 38
38. Cannot print. Make sure printer is connected and online.

Make sure the printer is plugged in, turned on, and ready to print. If you think it is, but The SI Swimsuit Calendar will not print, test it by printing from a different Windows application, such as Write.

You may get this message if you overload the printer's memory by sending it too complex a document. If you are using a Canon laser printer, turn the printer's power off, then back on. Pressing RESET is not enough to clear these printers' memory.

If your printer does not have enough memory to print a complex calendar, try reducing the number of typefaces or graphics in your calendar or print at a lower resolution (such as 150 dots per inch instead of 300).


Error 39
39. Invalid number of print periods.

Enter a valid number in the For Periods field in the Print dialog box.


Error 40
40. Not enough memory to print.

This calendar is too complicated to print, or you are running low on Windows resources (memory or hard disk swap space).

Try making your calendar less complex by using fewer styles, typefaces, graphics, events, or event lists. Reduce the number of years covered by your event list in order to reduce the number of events stored as repetitions of repeating events. (Change the Default Ending Year in the Preferences dialog, or delete outdated events by using the Delete Events Before dialog.) Print fewer months at a time. Print at a lower resolution (such as 150 dots per inch instead of 300) or do not print in color.

If you have continuing problems that appear to be resource-related, you may have to revise your system configuration. For example, you might add more memory or allocate more disk space for your Windows swap file. See your Windows documentation for information on swap files.


Error 41
41. Unimplemented or missing calendar layout.

You have deleted one of the .DLL files needed to display the layout in the calendar window. You may have to reinstall The SI Swimsuit Calendar.


Error 42
42. Too many occurrences. Unable to add rule to event list.

You have reached the maximum number of events and occurrences that an event list can hold: 8,000 events or 64,000 occurrences (instances of repeating events). Before you can add more events or more repeating event rules that will add occurrences, you must delete some events or reduce the number of occurrences.

The easiest way to delete occurrences is to reduce the number of years covered by your event list. Change the Default Ending Year in the Preferences dialog. You can also delete outdated events by using the Delete Events Before dialog box. You can also move some events to another event list.


Error 43
43. <>cannot be found. Ignored in style, event, or layout.

There is supposed to be a graphic attached to a style, event, or layout but it is not in the same directory any more, and it is not in your Default Graphics Path. This problem is most likely to occur if you copied your calendar files to a new computer but forgot to copy all its associated graphics. The SI Swimsuit Calendar will print the calendar without the graphic.


Error 44
44. <> located. Substituted in style, event, or layout .

When you attach a graphic to a style or event, The SI Swimsuit Calendar saves the location of the graphic. The graphic attached to a style or event has been moved from its old directory. The SI Swimsuit Calendar has found this graphic (or another one with the same name) in a new place and will save this new location with the style, event, or layout.


Error 45
45. <>is not a valid directory.

You probably did one of the following:

1. 	Entered an incorrect directory name when telling The SI Swimsuit Calendar where to find a file. Just enter the correct directory and path.

2.	Copied calendar files to a new computer but forgot to copy all its associated graphics, workspaces, or event lists. Copy the files from the other computer.

3.	Deleted a directory of clip art. Either recreate the art directory or ignore this message.


Error 46
46. <>is not a valid directory. Do you wish to create it?

When setting a default path in the Preferences dialog, you can instruct The SI Swimsuit Calendar to create the directory if it does not yet exist. If you think this directory already does exist, use Microsoft Windows File Manager to check the location of the directory and the spelling of its name.


Error 47
47. <>cannot be created.

The SI Swimsuit Calendar could not create a directory. You may not have enough disk space or  specified an invalid drive.


Error 48
48. <>is not a valid The SI Swimsuit Calendar Windows file or does not exist.

You may have entered the wrong name, or the file may be corrupted.


Error 49
49. Only one workspace may be opened.

You can only have one workspace open at a time. If you open another workspace, the first workspace will close.


Error 50
50. No event list. Do you wish to create a new one?

You must have an open event to add an event. Choose Yes to create a new event list.


Errors 51-52
51. Invalid style record encountered in file, record ignored.

52. Invalid graphic record encountered in file, record ignored.

One of the events in the list had incorrect style or picture information, so the event style or picture may be missing. Enter the event again.


Errors 53-55
53. Invalid add. exception record encountered in file, file input aborted

54. Invalid sub. exception record encountered in file, file input aborted

55. Invalid style override record encountered in file, file input aborted

These messages indicate that there was an error in opening or importing your file. The process was terminated. Exit The SI Swimsuit Calendar and Windows, restart them, and try again. The file may be corrupted.


Error 56
56. <>style is already defined. Try another name.

Two styles cannot have the same name. If you are editing this style, rather than creating a new one, make your changes and choose OK.


Error 57
57. The last year value must be between this year and 2100

You cannot enter a default ending year that is earlier than the current year or later than 2100. You should enter a year in the near future to limit the number of occurrences for repeating events. This helps to improve The SI Swimsuit Calendar performance.


Error 58
58. Invalid command line argument.

You have entered an invalid argument <filename> in the command line text box. Only event list names and workspace names are valid.


Error 59
59. Do you want to save changes to event list?

You have made changes to this event list since you last saved it. Do you want to save them before closing the list?


Errors 60-61
60. Delete the event - <>

61. Delete the selected events

Confirm that you want to delete this event or group of events.


Error 62
62. End of search.

No further event names in the event list contain the text you were searching for.


Error 64
64. There is no overflow in this calendar. Overflow options are set on the overflow panel of the Layout Options dialog.

You clicked the Overflow icon, but there are no overflowing events. The icon changes color and tips to show when there are overflowing events. To check for overflow events in another time period, display the time period in your calendar window first, then choose the Overflow button.


Error 65
65. Occurrence has been removed, or successfully placed in cell.

You have modified an event so that it fits into the date box, or you have hidden it so it no longer overflows.


Error 66
66. Do you wish to save current calendar layout options and event list references to a workspace file <filename>?

Choose Yes to save the changes you have made to this workspace.


Error 67
67. Some events only partially deleted because they contain occurrences after the date.

Some repeating events continue to occur after the date you specified. For these events, the occurrences before the specified date have been deleted, those after the date remain. Events that contain certain types of &count insert fields have their previous occurrences untouched.


Error 68
68. No events have occurrences before.

There are no events in this event list with occurrences before the specified date. Nothing was deleted.


Error 69
69. Unable to open file.

The file either does not exist or may be corrupted.


Error 70
70. End hour must be equal to or after start hour.

The time entered in End Time is earlier than the one entered in Start Time.


Error 71
71. Open aborted. Input error on file.

The file either does not exist or may be corrupted.


Error 72
72. Early occurrences of events containing &count cannot be deleted.

You cannot use the Delete Occurrences Before option to delete repeating events that contain &count insert fields, because the count would be inaccurate.


Errors 73-74
73. One or more events were exported with their original start dates to retain the &count number.

74. One or more events were imported with original start dates to retain &count or &birthday number.

Although you specified a date range, events that include a count field are imported and exported with their original start dates so that the count will remain accurate.


75. No date information has been specified. Continuing will cause all events to be set to the start date. Do you wish to continue?

You have not assigned a Date field or fields to any of the columns in the imported file. Therefore, all the imported events will have the start date shown in the From field under Date Range in the Import Fields dialog box.


Error 76
76. Changing the last year cannot be done because it would result in too many occurrences.

Your event list contains so many recurring events that adding one or more years to the calendar would create too many new events. Try to reduce the number of events by using the Delete Events Before dialog to erase old events.


Error 77
77. Changing the rule will cause previous date selections to be lost. Accept the new rule?

Entering a new rule cancels the previous rule and all the occurrences for a repeating event. Enter the rule and any exceptions as if this were a new event.


Errors 78-79
78. Delete the paper stock?

79. <>already exists. Overwrite?

Messages 78 and 79 are simple confirmations. Choose Yes or No.


Error 80
80. Event list cannot be opened. Maximum number of event lists reached.

You can open up to 50 event lists, or as many as your system memory can hold.

To free up memory, save your work, and exit from The SI Swimsuit Calendar and Windows. Then restart Windows and The SI Swimsuit Calendar, without starting any other applications. If you have continuing problems that appear to be resource-related, see your Windows documentation for tips on freeing up memory.

Reduce the amount of memory you use within The SI Swimsuit Calendar by simplifying your calendar. Reduce the number of years covered by your event list. (Change the Default Ending Year in the Preferences dialog or delete outdated events by using the Delete Events Before dialog.) Print fewer months at a time. Use fewer graphics, no color, and fewer typefaces.


Error 81
81. Invalid or corrupted list or workspace <>cannot be located and/or opened. Ignored in workspace.

If you receive this message when opening a workspace, you may have deleted, moved, or renamed one or more of the event lists included in the workspace. The SI Swimsuit Calendar will open what it can and ignore related event list or graphic files that it cannot use.

To make the event list part of the workspace again, use the Windows File Manager to search for the event list that seems to be missing. Once you locate it, you can do one of two things:

Copy or move the event list to the default directory specified in the Event Lists field in The SI Swimsuit Calendar Preferences dialog box. Choose Edit | Preferences to see what the default directory is.

Leave the event list where it is. In The SI Swimsuit Calendar, open the workspace without the missing file. Then use File | Open to open the event list. When you save the workspace, the new location of the event list will be saved with it.


Errors 82-84
82. No description for conversion library. <>in POWERUP.INI

83. Description in POWERUP.INI for conversion library. <>is invalid.

84. Conversion library. <>cannot be loaded.

Messages 82 to 84 indicate problems with the POWERUP.INI file. The best way to deal with them is to reinstall The SI Swimsuit Calendar Windows.


Error 85
85. Viewer modes cannot be printed. You must switch to a non-viewer mode to print.

You have tried to print one of the viewer layouts. Change to the equivalent month, week, week schedule or day layout and try printing again.


Error 86
86. Stock already exists.

Use a different name for this new paper stock. If you are trying to edit the settings for that paper stock, rather than trying to create a new one, then press Cancel to close the Add Paper Stock dialog box. Select the stock to modify and choose Modify.


Error 87
87. The selected string <> is too long to fit.

Select a shorter piece of text.


Errors 88-89
88. Unlinking occurrences containing &count fields will affect both the unlinked and the remaining occurrences

89. Deleting occurrences containing &count fields will affect other occurrences of the same event

The &count field records the number of previous occurrences of a recurring event. If you delete an occurrence, the count field of later occurrences drops by one. If you unlink an occurrence, the count field of later occurrences drops by one and the count field for the unlinked occurrence becomes 1 because this is the first event of its series.


Error 90
90. Unable to paste event.

The event information on the Clipboard is invalid, or you cannot paste an event into this location.


Errors 91-92
91. Delete ALL occurrences of the event?

92. Delete ALL occurrences of the selected events?

The SI Swimsuit Calendar is asking you to confirm that you want to delete these occurrences.


Error 93
93. The rule is invalid because there are no occurrences.

The rule you entered does not permit any occurrences for this event: for example, the first occurrence of the event falls after the ending date of the event. Enter a rule that generates at least one valid occurrence.


Error 94
94. Banners can not be cut, copied, pasted or cleared. The event can be deleted from the event list. To delete occurrences, modify the event.

You cannot cut, copy, clear, or paste a bannered event selected from the calendar window. To delete or copy the event, select it in the event list window first. To add or delete occurrences of a repeating event, modify the event and use the QuickDate calendar in the Modify Event dialog box to choose or cancel the dates.


Error 95
95. No events were imported. Make sure that the date range is set correctly.

The date of the first event in the file you are importing must be the same as, or later than, the From date in the Import Fields dialog.


Error 96
96. InstaBooks cannot be printed with the current binding or paper stock. Use Format/Page Setup to select multiple forms per page. Then, use this dialog to select the appropriate binding.

You can only print an InstaBook on paper stock that has an even number of forms in the direction of the binding. Use the following table as a guide to choosing a binding that fits the selected paper stock and orientation.

Forms/page	Orientation	Binding	Approximate finished size
2	portrait	top	8.50 w x 5.50h
	landscape	side	5.5.0w x 8.50h
4	portrait	top or side	4.25w x 5.50h
	landscape	top or side	5.50w x 4.25h
12	portrait	side	2.12w x 3.66h
	landscape	top	3.66w x 2.12h


Error 97
97. Only one instance of The SI Swimsuit Calendar may be active.

You tried to run The SI Swimsuit Calendar when it was already running. The Program Manager has switched you to the active The SI Swimsuit Calendar.


Error 98
98. The starting or ending date of the selected layout is beyond the date limit of 2100.

You cannot display a calendar layout with a time period that extends beyond 2100.


Error 99
99. Not enough memory to print. Try smaller number of periods.

Specify fewer time periods in the Print dialog box. If this does not help, try simplifying your calendar. Turn off picture display for the calendar or for individual events, do not use color, or use fewer fonts for event text. Reduce the number of years covered by your event list in order to reduce the number of events stored as repetitions of repeating events. Change the Default Ending Year in the Preferences dialog or delete outdated events by using the Delete Events Before dialog.

You can also try turning off the Print Manager. In the Windows Control Panel, choose Printers . Uncheck the Use Print Manager option box.

To free Windows memory, save your workspace and any event lists that you have added or changed. Exit from The SI Swimsuit Calendar and Windows. Then restart Windows and The SI Swimsuit Calendar, without starting any other applications.


Errors 100-101
100. Invalid number of form rows to print an InstaBook.

101. Invalid number of form columns to print an InstaBook.

To print an InstaBook, you must have an even number of calendar forms in the binding direction. If you selected top binding, there must be two or four calendars down the page; if you selected side binding, there must be two or four calendars across the width of the page.


Error 102
102. Changing the date will reset the rule. Proceed?

If you change the start date of a repeating event, the repeating rule is canceled. Choose Repeats to reenter the rule.


Error 103
103. Error while writing file.

You may not have enough disk space, or you may have specified an invalid directory or drive.


Error 104
104. Graphics support library SHOWPICT.DLL cannot be located. All graphics display disabled.

The SI Swimsuit Calendar and PowerAlbum both require this file. You have probably deleted it or moved it out of The SI Swimsuit Calendar directory. Reinstall The SI Swimsuit Calendar from the Setup disks.


Error 105
105. PowerAlbum library CHOSPICT.DLL cannot be located. PowerAlbum is disabled.

Reinstall PowerAlbum from the Setup disks.


Error 107
107. Invalid disk drive or path for save.

Enter the name of a directory (and path to it) that already exists on your disk drive. You cannot create a new directory here.


Errors 108-110
108. Font is too large to produce text layout on currently selected form.

109. Font is too large to produce year layout on currently selected form.

110. Font is too large to produce overflow listing on currently selected form.

This problem is most likely to appear when printing to an InstaBook or some other very small form. If the font is so large that a single individual letter will take up a significant portion of the form, the printout will not make any sense. Reduce your font size and try again.


Error 111
111. Too many or no overflow forms in calendar. Overflow display suppressed.

While trying to format the overflow page, The SI Swimsuit Calendar probably discovered a way to fit the overflow text on the main calendar. If so, it displays this message, prints the text and the Calendar, and does not bother with an overflow page.

You might also see this message if your font is very large compared to your form size. In this case, reduce the font size.


Error 112
112. Unable to set printer orientation (portrait/landscape).

You may be using the wrong printer driver for your printer. If you have a PostScript printer, you may be using a generic PostScript driver rather than one specifically tailored to your machine.


Error 113
113. <> can only be opened in READ ONLY mode.

Calendar Creator for DOS files and some network files can be read but not changed. If you modify the events, save the file under a new name.


Error 114
114. The rule you have specified will have many occurrences and is likely to degrade performance.

Shorten the time period covered by this rule. For example, if the event will repeat over a period of years, restrict it to a period of months.


Error 115
115. Unable to position the following text on layout because of too large font or too small form.

Change the style of the displayed text to use a smaller font.


Error 116
116. Not enough memory to continue.

See your Windows documentation for suggestions on how to free more memory.


Error 117
117. Unable to save event list.

118. Unable to open event list.

The event list may be damaged, missing, or invalid.


Error 119
119. Unable to save workspace.

120. Unable to open workspace.

The workspace may be damaged, missing, or invalid.


Error 123
123. The library is for an earlier version of The SI Swimsuit Calendar. If you continue your data files may be damaged. Select Yes to continue using this library.

Run SETUP again to install the correct files.


Error 124
124. Unable to save import specification.

Check to see that you have enough disk space available on the drive. If you are on a network, you may be trying to save the file to a read-only directory. Save the file to a directory where you have write privileges.
