To begin using the calendar, select Calendar from the shortcut bar. By default, the calendar starts showing today's schedule on a ruled background. At the upper right, there's a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. Below that, there's a TaskPad, where you can keep a list of tasks seperate from your calendar appointments. The calendar's daily view is shown in Figure 5-1.

Ways of Looking at your Calendar

The toolbar offers you four different views of your calendar: one day, five days, a week, or a month at once. Press the calendar-shaped buttons on the right side of the toolbar to switch between views. You can also select a range of days— three days, ten days, a fortnight if you want — in the small calendar at the upper right.

The Prev and Next buttons will move you forward and back in your calendar pages. If you're looking at only one day, you'll see tomorrow's page, or yesterday's. If you're looking at your calendar by week, month, fortnight, or anything else, you'll move around by just that much. To come back to today's listing, click Today.

To visit a specific date's calendar entries, click Go To and select the date in the dialog box that appears.
