PPT2002: Cannot Select Items on an Inserted Calendar (285476)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2002

This article was previously published under Q285476

SYMPTOMS

After you insert a Calendar object into a slide, you cannot select or change any of the Calendar items.

When you attempt to select a day or a month on the Calendar, nothing happens.

CAUSE

The inserted Calendar object is a Microsoft ActiveX Control. The values of an inserted ActiveX Control can only be changed from within the Properties dialog box of that ActiveX Control.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior and change the properties of the Calendar ActiveX control, follow these steps:
  1. Right-click the inserted Calendar object.
  2. On the shortcut menu that appears, point to Calendar Object, and then click Properties.
  3. In the Calendar Properties dialog box, on the General tab, change the values that you want, and then click OK.
