CNET Editors' review
There are so many complex digital calendar systems that help you track everything from business contacts to dog-grooming appointments, it is actually difficult to find a simple, printable, old-fashioned calendar. This simple Excel Calendar Template offers one solution, although.
This free template was designed using Microsoft Excel. However, its interface is nothing like a spreadsheet. After choosing the year you would like to view, a large, easy-to-read calendar is displayed. Each month is available for viewing by clicking on the tabs at the bottom, as well as an overview of the year. Each day has ample space to write a note and popular holidays are already marked. In addition, by using Excel's color adjustment tool, users can create a simple calendar to their liking.
We recommend this template for anyone seeking a simple way of printing out the year's calendar and hanging the months up in hard-copy form. If you want reminders, alerts, and other functionality, you'll want to skip this spreadsheet template.

"Intuitively easy. Reuseable year after year. Superb!"
Version: Excel Calendar Template 1.4.2
Pros
13 tabs (full year + 12 months) enable printing selected pages or even weeks. Typical Excel entry and customizations easily done (color, cell size..). One simply click in the "Year" cell & all 13 pgs automatically rollover to new year. Thrifty & easy
Cons
If you want a calendar to whistle alerts & prod you along, then such an easily printable, reuseable, customizable and incredible old fashioned calendar probably won't satisfy you. It can't read emails or snarf up 'events' tossed its way.
Summary
Suitable for those who still like paper calendars as well as for those who like electronic calendars. I print a weekly section of the calendar at a time so I have lots of room for jotting my notes. I can choose to keep OR to trash the calendar pages without worrying about needing later upgrades or incurring new expenses. It helps me remember due dates for paying bills or doing seasonal chores. I followed Vertex42's example in the special date's column and I entered my own special birthdates, anniversaries, & reoccurring events. HINT: Reoccurring events for me include seasonal items (call for annual appts, clean out garage) as well as monthly items (payments due each month). I for one do need reminders (and I do not want to have to remember that I need to be reminded ?. I have yet to be disappointed with any of Vertex42's products. My favorite part is that my calendar pages are automatically re-populated each year with all my own personal entries as well as with the actual calendar items.
