Hi Lenny :)

That is an interesting idea, thanks for sharing!

The half coloured images are only made and used above our activities, they don't actually exist as templates.

We don't do them as half done beacuse it might be hard to match the colours well when colouring, and then it would look a bit odd being different shades of every colour. Plus half the fun of colouring is the choose your own!

That's mainly why we include the artist profile and an example of the original so it can be used and expanded upon.

I'll pass your idea onto the team nonetheless.

Free Activity Calendar for Seniors

Hi Sam!

Yes it does :)

There are two versions, Word and PDF.

You will need Microsoft Word to use the Word verison, this is our recommendation and why we default to this option. PDFs a great because they work on most devices these days, but they are not as easy to edit, and you can't save changes from your browser. But if you have Acrobat Reader, it's another great option.

Let me know how you go, I hope that helps!

Hi Mimi!

From what I can tell you're using the PDF version of the calendar.

When using the PDF version you need a PDF program, like Acrobat. You can't open it in Google Chrome, or any other browser, as any changes you make won't be saved.

I know it's annoying, and I wish they supported this, but right now you need to open it in a separate program to add your activities, save, and then be able to print it.

I generally recommend the Word version because most people have Word, and saving is never an issue.

I hope that helps!

Hi Suzanne!

That is strange - I can't see any calendar downloads on your account recently, could you have used another computer or not have been logged in when trying to do this?

The backgrounds only work if you're a member, otherwise it will use a white background. Please double check and try again, then let me know! Thanks :)

Hi Jennifer!

The daily schedule has now been adding back with a few adjustments, including more options for how many rows to add. :)

Hi Sandra!

For a blank calendar, just set the option "Events & Icons" to "Hide", and also make sure to use the "Plain" theme. That should give you an emapy white calendar to work from!

Hi Hanh!

Portrait/Landscape mode is back, we were making some changes and this now also works with the PDF version :)

Thank you Gwyneth!

I've just updated the Submit Activity page with the following instructions:
https://www.goldencarers.com/submit-an-activity/6078/

[Enter] = Paragraph
[Ctrl] + [Enter] = New Line

This is actually the same way you break onto a new paragraph or new line in Microsoft Word, it's one of those 'quirks' of computers.

Let me know how you go, hope that helps!
