not bad |

It has a lot of features but it takes some time to figure it all out. |

I recently had to update my fifteen year old version of Calendar Creator v1.0 because it was incompatible with Windows XP but not Windows 2000. I have been using the application to make schedules at work. The old program worked perfectly allowing me to overlap the schedules of 10 different health care providers working at 5 separate sites. I was able to create 10 separate files and combine these files quickly and simply in to separate calendars. I purchased this newer version after calling Broderbund and getting reassurances that the file format of the new version was compatible with the files from the old version. This would save me having to enter data already present on our server.I was happy to find out that the new application did import the old files. Unfortunately the simple intuitive nature of the original application has been completely lost in all the bells and whistles of the new version. There is nothing intuitive about this software.Despite hours of fiddling and reading an extremely cryptic user manual and help menu I gave up and decided to use Outlook. A very disappointing purchase. |

Useless |
I had really high hopes for this product but it ended up in the trash.It is not user friendly at all.I was hoping to make a simple folding calendar in the style you see in the stores but it never happened . The reason i was drawn to this software was the ability to insert pictures into the grid of the calendar which is very easy to do beacuse they give you very clear concise directions on how to do this. I never figured out how to insert the art work for the main picture above the calendar grid. This is not mentioned once in the instruction booklet that came with it, or the help section of the software.I even went back to other reviews of the software on Marketadvisory and followed a sugestion made by someone who somehow figured this problem out and that did not work.I tried saving whatever i had done so i could check it out later and see what it was going to look like and it would not let me re-open my creation. there where errors every time i tried to open it and after about 3 times i just gave up and went back to my old Elements4.This is a very fundamental part of calendar creating that they just completly left out of the process. All of the other features of the program are completly useless if you cannot create a simple wall calendar.

HORRIBLE |
I have been a calendar creator user since it was labeled under the name Instant Calendar (this was the fifth version I owned) I have also owned Calendar Creator Vers. 6, 8, and 10. I liked version 6 the best (closest to Instant Calendar) but it does not work with XP. I purchased version 8 for 10 bucks at Office Max a while back, and I got several years use out of it, the only bad thing about it is that it won't print on network printers for some reason.
I only replaced Version 8 with 12 because I lost my version 8 CD and the program corrupted on my main computer. Version 12 opened my old 8 file with no incident, but printing it was another issue. It turned a 10 MB file into a 2 GB file, and would only print 4 pages outo f 12, and take about an hour to do it (bad when you make 17 calendars at a time). I bought version 10 on here because I was having issues with 12, and had the same problem. Ultimately I wound up using a friend's computer with version 8 and had no printing issues whatsoever. I tried to call tech support from broderbund and from encore, and they were of no use at all.
All in all, Calendar Creator used to be a great program, and I cannot recommend version 12, but version 8 (with XP) or earlier versions on other systems is a great program if you can find it on here! |
