Thanks for getting in touch. To try and make our templates accessible to a broad audience we chose Word instead of Publisher, less and less people seem to have access to the software, however I am aware of some of the advantages to using Publisher.
I'm curious - what were your main reasons for using Publisher over Word? We designed our templates to be simple to use, similar in a way to what you'd be used to.
Thanks Gail, talk soon!

Publisher is soooo much easier to do editing...Can you offer it in both word and publisher??
Hi Leanne, have you had success using Golden Carers calendar is word format and inserting into a publisher file as 'insert file'? I want to use their calendar but its not working transferring properly. Thanks
Here are a few ways you can incorporate calendars into Publisher:
1. Convert to JPG and insert into Publisher
- One solution is to download and use the Golden Carers Calendars as normal. When you're done, convert them to JPG. - You can do this by taking a screenshot, or using https://convertio.co/docx-jpg/ for Word, and https://convertio.co/convert-pdf-to-jpg/ for PDFs - Then, in Publisher, click Insert > Pictures, or drag it in - I've attached a screenshot showing a working example of this
2. Use Built-In Publisher Calendars
- Another solution is to use the built-in calendars within Publisher - To use these, click "Insert", then "Calendars", and select one that suits your needs - You can also click "More Calendars" to specify what month you want to use
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
