Hullo again Marlene I worked away with calenders using iPhoto and finally succeeded. I thought I would have it printed out - but did not really want to pay $29.95 - so I have printed it out ordinarily from my home printer. Now I need to think of someone who has a binding machine for me so the pages will open and close successfully.
I have just gone on-line to the Harvey Norman site which you mentioned. You also mentioned you had ordered your calenders on special at $23.97 each. I think I will keep my eyes open for this!
