How to Create a Shared Calendar in Word

You can easily create a shared calendar within Word using the existing software on your computer.

Within Microsoft Word you can create a shared calendar that is able to be accessed by others within your network. On a shared calendar, individuals will be able to input scheduled meetings, events and other important information for everyone to see at the same time. The calendar can be easily created using a template offered through Microsoft Word's software and customized for a particular month and viewing platform---such as by daily, weekly or monthly calendars.

Instructions

1. Open Microsoft Word on your computer. Go to the "File" tab on the upper left side of the window and scroll down to "New." A new document task pane will open on the screen, allowing you to choose the type of document you wish to create.

2. Click on the "Templates" tab within the task pane. Then, click on the "On My Computer" option.

3. Locate the "Other Documents" tab and then double-click on the "Calendar Wizard" option.

4. Within Calendar Wizard, choose the template that best fits your needs---either a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly calendar option. Create the calendar and save it to your hard drive.

5. Save the document to a shared workspace. This location is only accessible if you have your computer linked to a network. This will allow anyone else on the network to access the file and to make changes to it.
