WinCalendar by Sapro Systems simplifies the process of making calendars in Word and Excel. Working inside these Microsoft programs, WinCalendar also expands your options. Its templates and automated features generate colorful, flexible calendars for planning, notekeeping, and many other uses. It tracks holidays and much more; at least, the full version does. The free trial is intended as a demo of WinCalendar's capabilities, not as fully functional freeware, and the trial version limits several features, including holidays, calendar size, and format, and it places a watermark on saved calendars. Its comprehensive Help file and a wizard-based calendar maker do a respectable job of introducing this shareware Office add-on, though.

You'll have to close and reopen Word or Excel if they're open when installing WinCalendar. Our installation finished with the Help file's "How Do I?" page of quick links to all major topics. WinCalendar's controls showed up on Word's ribbon (Excel's, too). Aside from Register, About, and Help buttons, it only has two controls: Show WinCalendar and Calendar Maker. We started the Calendar Maker. This wizard-like tool offered lots of choices, starting with a menu of templates in the Type & Date Range field: weekly, monthly, yearly, schedule, and agenda; as well as Data & Format, Size & Orientation, and Options. When we tried accessing features disabled in the free trial, a nag message popped up. But we were able to make basic selections and preview them. Our finished product appeared in a new Word document. It was attractive and professional in execution, as good as any we'd seen. The watermark is large but faint, and major holidays were indicated in red (you can't customize them in the free trial). We could enter and save data like any calendar made in Word or Excel. WinCalendar worked equally well in both Office applications, with similar options and results.

About the Show WinCalendar button: clicking it produces a neat little desktop calendar with some interesting tricks; for example, clicking any highlighted date copies the day and date (in your format) into Word or Excel. Bottom line: The trial limits didn't obscure WinCalendar's capabilities.

Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of WinCalendar 3.43.

"WinCalendar is AMAZING for Event Planners!"

Event Manager December 29, 2015 / Version: WinCalendar 4.33

2015-12-29 11:42:53 | By Event Manager

Pros

1) Lifetime download, not just yearly!
2) I Love Win Calendar's function to "import from excel range" which saves an unbelievable amount of time from having to edit your existing spreadsheets or re- input your data into a premade template with specific columns.

Cons

You must purchase Pro version to import data from csv or excel and pay per computer you would like to add the program to but its well worth it!

Summary

I have a team of 25-50 specialists that I schedule for 1200+ events a year for 3 different companies so EVERYTHING I do is spreadsheet based! I needed color coding and alot of info to show up within my calendars to make them complete and happily I discovered that WinCalendar can do just that. I spent so much time trying to find an excel template or program that would be able to import my spreadsheet with VERY LITTLE re-formatting and always came up short but with WinCalendar in just a few clicks inside Excel I was able to import my existing spreadsheet data into calendars effortlessly and save so much time! Thanks Sapro Systems and WinCalendar!

"Looks good, but only paid version is functional"

Tripper33 August 11, 2013 / Version: WinCalendar 4.10

2013-08-11 08:47:33 | By Tripper33

Pros

Looks very good and clearly presented info
Transfer from google is easy

Cons

Too limited functionality; not enough entries transfer
Too Costly for something that can be done for free with several other programs

Summary

I thought this would be a good addition to my google calendar offline. At first it seemed very good. But I realized that only one or two calendar entries are transferred to wincalendar in the FREE version.
I don''t feel that it is worth the ANNUAL $99 fee to get the paid version. I have uninstalled it!

"Fine, until you want to uninstall"

Specimen_Unknown February 20, 2013 / Version: WinCalendar for Windows, Word & Excel 3.48

2013-02-20 05:31:46 | By Specimen_Unknown

Pros

The install was easy

Cons

I can't remove it. When you run the uninstall it leave files everywhere, including within the registry. It is impossible to get rid of and now every time I open Excel I receive an error message. I am pretty computer literate but even my IT department is having a hard time removing all the tentacles this program has left behind.

Summary

Don't do it....unless you are certain that you will never want to uninstall it.

"A cool work around for creating DIY Pocket Calendars"

John-RegardingSolutions January 11, 2013 / Version: WinCalendar for Windows, Word & Excel 3.46

2013-01-11 15:15:34 | By John-RegardingSolutions

Pros

I was upset that Google has very limited options for formatting and printing out their calendars.
WinCalendar allows me to import my info right into Excel and format it just the way I want. Now I can keep my online calendar AND print out a paper version to carry with me and make appointments.

Cons

This software does cost money to get the features I want. However, I'm starting to get more excited about paying developers to keep on creating products like this.

Summary

A nice tool to add to the kit for creating an integrated online-pocket scheduling tool.
