SYMPTOMS
After you insert a Calendar object into a slide, you cannot select or change any of the Calendar items.

When you attempt to select a day or a month on the Calendar, nothing happens.



CAUSE
The inserted Calendar object is a Microsoft ActiveX Control. The values of an inserted ActiveX Control can only be changed from within the Properties dialog box of that ActiveX Control.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior and change the properties of the Calendar ActiveX control, follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click the inserted Calendar object.
 * 2) On the shortcut menu that appears, point to Calendar Object, and then click Properties.
 * 3) In the Calendar Properties dialog box, on the General tab, change the values that you want, and then click OK.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about controls, click Microsoft PowerPoint Help on the Help menu, type control in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
