SYMPTOMS

When creating a calendar in an existing publication using the PageWizard Calendar option, the Table Cell Properties item is not available from the Layout menu selection, and you are unable to modify the Table Cell Properties for a particular cell.

If you select a range of dates in a calendar created by the Calendar AreaWizard, you will find that the Table Cell Properties command in the Layout menu is unavailable (dimmed).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Publisher versions 2.0 and 2.0a. This problem was corrected in Publisher version 3.0 for Windows 95.

RESOLUTION

To modify any individual cell's properties in a calendar created with the PageWizard Tool, you must first ungroup the calendar.

To ungroup the calendar:

1. Click anywhere within the calendar with the mouse.

2. Click the Group button at the bottom-right side of the calendar's  frame.

-or-

From the Layout menu, choose Ungroup Objects. This will ungroup the various elements of the calendar object, allowing you to change the properties of each separately.

Now you can select a range of dates in the calendar and change the Table Cell Properties.
