How to get the Calendar Tab?

Anonymous

I got a new laptop and am working with my files in which I have one month of a calendar in each file (vs all 12 months in one file). On my old laptop, the Calendar tab existed in Word so I was able to copy my calendar doc for each new month and change the month/year as needed. I've googled this and it seems that maybe there was some macro that gave me the Calendar tab, but I have no idea how it was installed. Please help me figure out how to get the needed macro/add-in that will provide these options. It looked similar to this photo below that I saw someone post/ask about. The explanation had to do with macros, but I can't access my old hard drive (laptop died) to try and research the macro name or where it existed. I am using Word 2019. Thank you in advance!

    Yes, it looks like this one.

    I tried to create this one from scratch and it creates the whole year for 2024. It doesn't ask me for a month and year iit used to. I tried a similar one and the same thing, it creates the whole year with no options.

    Any suggestions on what I can do here?

    I just looked and Macros are NOT enabled. Should I enable them, then try again? Is it safe to enable them? It says it's not recommended, potentially dangerous code can run.

    These are my Macros settings:

    I searched for a way to create a calendar document. I didn't find a wizard like I thought I remembered so I searched around on the internet. I honestly can't remember if I found it on Microsoft support or via Word itself. I created the document for August 2021 and as part of this process the Calendar Tab came with it.

    .

    Sounds like the calendar template added it.

    Do any of these calendars look familiar? https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/80444d64-2786-49e8-a446-ce5997ed48d5?platform=QnA

    Diane,

    Thank you very much for replying. Using Office 2019.

    This is the best I can remember. In Aug 2021 I searched for a way to create a calendar document. I didn't find a wizard like I thought I remembered so I searched around on the internet. I honestly can't remember if I found it on Microsoft support or via Word itself. I created the document for August 2021 and as part of this process the Calendar Tab came with it. I didn't so anything special with Macros, or anything like what you list below. Each month I would copy my file for the next month and change the date with the Calendar tab.

    I recently lost my computer (motherboard issue) and cannot get access to it. Thankfully I backup all of my personal files to an external drive so I am pretty much ok. However, I had to install Office 2019 so any templates, files, etc that were stored with word itself are lost.

    I have to say that I'm just a simple user of Word and don't really understand some of what you are telling me to do. I do see the Macro settings, but not so sure about this stuff. Is is possible for you to give me more detailed step-by-step instructions as I'd love to have this back?

    Sub OpenDoc()

    Dim strFile As String

    strFile = "C:\path\to\template.dotx"

    Documents.Add Template:=strFile, NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0

    End Sub

    .....

    The page it in a module in normal.dotm. Then customize the ribbon to add the macro to the ribbon.

    Thank you again!!!

    Hi, I'm Diane and I'm happy to help you today.

    That is a custom tab - with a button pointing to the macro.

    Definitely would be easier if you remembered how you did it.

    At the simplest, you can use this open a template as a new document -

    Sub OpenDoc() Dim strFile As String

    strFile = "C:\path\to\template.dotx"

    Documents.Add Template:=strFile, NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0 End Sub

    You'll need to enable macros in file > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center settings > Macro security. The page it in a module in normal.dotm. Then customize the ribbon to add the macro to the ribbon.

    Let me know how it goes, I'm here to help you further if needed.

    -- Diane
