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 separate from your calendar appointments. The calendar's daily view is shown in Figure 6-1.
Event List
The Event List is responsible for showing you all of your scheduled events, whether they are all day events or simply one time events that last a half an hour.
Todo List
The Todo List compliments the Event List as it keeps track of your chores or tasks which don't have any time associated with them. These may include "Clean Room" or "Call Repairman".
Calendar Window
The Calendar Window has a graphical representation of the calendar, so you can select what days to view in the Event List.
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.
