Step 1.
Mom's Break offers calendar pages, such
as the September 2008 "Elephants" page shown here, that can be
personalized. If you are unsure about how to personalize a PDF
printable, then review this helpful tutorial:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
Step 2.
Once you have downloaded the PDF
personalizable printable, you can type in text wherever you see a
"highlighted" area (gray or blue, depending on your monitor
settings). If you don't see the highlighted area(s), then click
on the "Highlight Fields" button in the upper right-hand corner of the
screen.
To add text directly into the PDF
printable, click anywhere in the highlighted area, and begin typing. As
shown to the left, "Elephants never forget and neither will you!" has
been typed into the blank box in the first row.
Continue to click in the highlighted
areas for selected days, and type in the text desired, such as "Jason's
Birthday" or "Dr. appt. 9:00am" (or any other reminder). |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
Step 3.
Adding a Sticky Note allows you to insert
more text than will fit in any day's text area.
To add a Sticky Note, click on the
Sticky Note icon on the toolbar.
Once you click on the Sticky Note
icon, the cursor will change to a "dialogue balloon" (like you see in
cartoons). |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
Step 4.
Position the cursor wherever it is that
you want to add the Sticky Note. Hold down the mouse button and drag the
mouse down and to the right (or down and to the left). You'll notice
that a "box" will be created.
In the illustration to the left, and
to make it easier to visualize, a Sticky Note box has been drawn around
"September 2008, Animal Calendar" (click on the illustration to see the
larger view).
When you have the Sticky Note box
where you want it, release the mouse button.
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
Step 5.
When you release the mouse button, a
yellow dialogue balloon will appear (in the illustration to the left, it
is over the "S" in "September" and the actual "sticky note" will appear
as a pop-up window (in the illustration to the left, see the
yellow-bordered box).
Position the cursor anywhere in the
white area of the sticky note and click. |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
Step 6.
Type your reminder or message in the
sticky note box. You can type as much text as you like. |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
Step 7.
To close the sticky note pop-up box,
click on the small box that has an underscore (_) in it, at the top
right of the sticky note pop-box. After you close the sticky note box,
only the yellow sticky note balloon will be visible (in the illustration
to the left, it is over the "S" in September). |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
Step 8.
To read what is in the sticky note, run
the cursor over the yellow sticky note balloon. The message will appear.
