I absolutely love this website and get most of my daily activities from it. Love the monthly diary too. It has so much to offer for different stages of dementia residents. I love the artwork, games, and quizzes which we use every day. People are constantly asking where do I get my ideas. Thank you so much!

can a person do the newsletter in Publisher?? if so how do I convert it to Publisher from word??
Hi Gail!
Thanks for getting in touch. To try and make our templates accessible to a broad audience we chose Word instead of Publisher, less and less people seem to have access to the software, however I am aware of some of the advantages to using Publisher.
I'm curious - what were your main reasons for using Publisher over Word? We designed our templates to be simple to use, similar in a way to what you'd be used to.
Thanks Gail, talk soon!
Publisher is soooo much easier to do editing...Can you offer it in both word and publisher??
I do all my newsletters, calendars & flyers in Publisher, it is so easy. I hardly ever use word.
I have used publisher and word
I like a word better because more people use it
Hi Leanne, have you had success using Golden Carers calendar is word format and inserting into a publisher file as 'insert file'? I want to use their calendar but its not working transferring properly. Thanks
Hi Leanne
I hope you can help Bettie
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone!
Here are a few ways you can incorporate calendars into Publisher:
1. Convert to JPG and insert into Publisher
- One solution is to download and use the Golden Carers Calendars as normal. When you're done, convert them to JPG.
- You can do this by taking a screenshot, or using https://convertio.co/docx-jpg/ for Word, and https://convertio.co/convert-pdf-to-jpg/ for PDFs
- Then, in Publisher, click Insert > Pictures, or drag it in
- I've attached a screenshot showing a working example of this
2. Use Built-In Publisher Calendars
- Another solution is to use the built-in calendars within Publisher
- To use these, click "Insert", then "Calendars", and select one that suits your needs
- You can also click "More Calendars" to specify what month you want to use
I hope that helps! :)
