How to Print a Month's Calendar

You can create larger calendars by using the "Page Setup" dialog box. All of the date "boxes" will still be the same size as each other, but you can create a larger calendar overall to encompass more events.

Also, more event data will fit on the page if you print in landscape mode. In addition, if you want to create a calendar spanning over multiple pages, calculate the document size by doing the following:

• Page Size accounting for margins: 8 x 10.5
• Page Width = (n x 8) + .5
• Page Height = (m x 10.5) + .5

If you are using something with larger margins, use this "formula" instead:

• Page Size, allowing for margins: 8 x 10
• Page Width = (n x 8) + .5
• Page Height = (m x 10) + .5

1. The document size for a 2 sheet by 2 sheet document would be 16.5" x 21.5"
2. With larger margins, it would be 16.5" x 20.5"

Tracking time with NewPlanner

Elapsed Time with Alarm

1. Start NewPlanner. Look at the current time.
2. Set Preferences to zero minutes, zero days, zero hours.
3. Set Alarm for time to sound alarm.
4. If you have NewPlanner set for a 10-15 minute warning and you are trying to track a shorter period of time, the alarm may not sound at all if the warning period is longer than the scheduled event.
5. Use the Snooze feature to have the alarm repeat. It will go off about every 4.5 minutes.

How to track elapsed time with Solitaire

1. Start Solitaire.
2. Shrink the window vertically to the maximum. Only a tiny slit of cards will be showing.
3. Shrink the window horizontally so the Time display is in the lower right corner.
4. Drag the Solitaire box to the lower right corner of the screen.
5. Click on the left card stack to start the timer.
6. Click on Game/Re-deal to reset the timer or select Options/Timed Game to clear/reset the timer.
7. Once a card has been touched the timer will keep on counting: seconds, minutes, hours...
8. Minimize Solitaire and drag the Icon to the lower right corner of the screen so it will pop up over the icon when opened again (keep your work in one place).

To play the timer copy of Solitaire while using the timer:

1. Click the upper right corner button to maximize the application.
2. Press the box again to shrink it down to size.
3. Press the Minimize button (left box in the upper right corner) to minimize the timer, but it makes more sense to start another copy of Solitaire so the timer is not interrupted if something serious is being tracked.

Remember:

• Re-dealing will stop the clock and reset the timer. So will Selecting Options/Timed Game, without going through Game/Re-deal.
• The options menu can be pinned open and the timer reset in an instant by double-clicking on it.
• It is also possible to slide the open timer window to the lower left corner, if you want to see both the NewPlanner Clock and the elapsed time in the lower right hand corner.
• If NewPlanner clock has already been placed in the lower left corner, select the express menu/NewPlanner to make it appear in front of the Solitaire Application.
• When other applications are minimized they may obscure the timer or clock unless the numbers are right along the bottom edge of the screen.
