I want to have a calendar, on my pc, which will display events over a year,
graph style. I'm sure this is a simple thing to do but I don't know how. Any techies here who can put it in easy language? Mary |

Ask in a computer group perhaps? Surely as and when you can make a valid contribution to the group may be the time to comments on posts that don't meet your approval. Until then perhaps it would be best if you just go back to saying and doing nothing.

I went to Outlook and hit Calendar but I can't see a way of getting what I want. I want to mark a particular event which happens every couple of weeks or so into a graph form so that its regularity or otherwise can easily be seen. I could do it with a & b axes on graph paper but I don't want to have to do it with pencil and paper (because I'd lose it). Mary |

Outlook has a timeline view but I don't think it will scale over many months. It works OK with weekly and monthly views. It shows things like when an email/telephone call is received.. when you replied.. I think the excel graph mentioned by Owain is probably the easiest but it still requires you the enter the data. |

Have to to make sure it's up to date. It's just a product list. That's good, but what I meant was, DW's wysiwyg won't show you what your pages look like in the entire range of browsers, versions, screen sizes, and other settings that your potential customers will be using. If it's just a product list and you keep it simple, it might well be OK, but for anything more complicated you should keep a close eye on the code behind the wysiwyg. DW can help with its "Target Browser Check" report, but you need a decent grasp of HTML and possibly CSS to make good use of the results. I'm helping a friend get started in web design with Microsoft Expression Web, which also encourages wysiwyg design. His first effort looked great in Expression Web and IE, but you should have seen his face fall when I showed him what it looked like in Firefox. I hope you won't have that problem but it's important to be aware of its existence. -- Mike Barnes |
