How to Make a Calendar in PowerPoint

• Open a new PowerPoint presentation to design your own calendar. Use a completely blank slide. To do this, under the Home tab, click on Layout and select Blank.

•  Now we are going to design the calendar by inserting a table. Select Insert > Table. Inside the Table window, set it up in order to get a table of 7 horizontal squares by 6 vertical squares.

• In Table Design, we can customize it and give it the color formatting we want.

• We fill in the table with the names of the days of the week and their respective numbers.

PROTIP: You can add in the table the name of the month for which you have made the calendar. Also, you do not need to do this when you are inserting the table, but you can do it at this point of the design creation. Click Layout > Insert Above (to add a new row). Merge the cells, type the name of the month and select center align.

• The editing possibilities are endless. We can choose the typography that best fits the style of the calendar we want.

• And we can also adjust the calendar to the size we need. After adjusting it, we need to distribute the rows and columns to make it uniform in size. To do this, click Layout > Distribute rows / Distribute columns.

• We place the calendar days in the position we want. In the example, we have placed them in the middle of the cell and the text aligned to the left.

• We can remove the borders if we choose to do so. In the Table Design tab, select Borders > No border. It is important that before removing the borders you have selected the whole table, otherwise, only the borders in the cell where you have the cursor will disappear.

• Once the structure of the calendar is done, you can customize it to your liking: you can add text boxes, images, and other elements to give it your personal touch. Here is a small example of what you can do:
• Step 1. Let's remove the shading from the calendar structure. To do this, we select the whole table > Table Design > Borders > No Fill.

• Step 2. We adjust the calendar on the slide and insert a text box to write the name of the month. We will use the same font we used for the calendar.

• Step 3. And finally, we give it a touch of color and summer vibes by inserting an image from our device. On Freepik you have at your disposal a bank of free images to use! After adding the image to the slideshow, right-click on the image > Send to Back.
