This wikiHow teaches you how to create a calendar on Google Docs - the Vietnamese version is Google Docs. To create a calendar, you can use a table (table) manually, or use Google's built-in templates.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Use a table
Open the Google Docs page. Go to https://docs.google.com/document/. If you're signed in with your Google account, the Google Docs page will open.
- If you aren't logged into your Google account, you'll need to enter your Google email address and password first.
Click Blank to the left of the "Start a new document" drop-down menu near the top of the page. A new Google document template will open.
Enter the month's name. Type in the name of the month you are currently scheduling, then tap ↵ Enter. So the month name will be above the calendar.
Click the card Table at the top left of the page. A drop-down menu will appear.
Choose Insert table (Insert Table) is at the top of the menu Table. A window with a cube grid will pop up.
Create a 7x6 table. Hover your mouse pointer to select the seven shapes at the top of the pop-up window, then move the cursor down at least six cells. After you have a 7x6 blue cube grid, click to insert the board.- The grid starts with 5x5 cells and will expand as you move the mouse pointer.
- Depending on the month, you will sometimes need seven rows instead of six (for example, if the first day of the month is Thursday, Friday or Saturday).
Enter the names of the days of the week. In the top row of the calendar, type the names of the days of the week.
- For example, you can type "Sunday" in the box above, on the left, "Monday" in the box right to the right and so on.
Add dates. Type the number of days for each cell.
Adjust calendar size. Click and drag the horizontal, black line at the bottom of the calendar downwards to extend the last line, then repeat with the other rows in the calendar. This will make sure the fields on the calendar are large enough to fill in information.
- Adjusting the calendar size will also ensure that the number is always in the upper left corner in the corresponding cell.
Repeat for the remaining months. Once you have inserted the table for the remaining 11 months, you will have one table for each month of the year.
Customize the calendar to your liking. Modify as you need to complete the calendar. Some of the popular options include:
- Use bold, italic, or underline for calendar fonts.
- Change fonts and sizes for weeks or other aspects of the calendar.
- Change the colors of individual cells, columns, or rows by selecting the custom object and then clicking Table, choose Table properties (Table properties) and value change Cell background color (Cell background color).
Close document. When done, you can close the tab or calendar window. You should be able to reopen the calendar in the Docs page as well as from the Google Drive page. advertisement
