About the programmer

data2date for 2009, 2010, and 2011

data2date monthly wall calendardata2date™ is an automatic calendar generator for QuarkXPress® and InDesign®. It is not an extension, but rather a simple combination of solutions. Included are FileMaker® Pro runtime databases (the source for custom date text and predefined holiday sets), a collection of calendar templates in a variety of calendar formats, a pre-written Xdata or InData prototype for each calendar, and a collection of QuarkXPress libraries containing mini calendars and other miscellaneous fillers.

Using the FileMaker Pro database, you can completely customize the text that appears within each date of the resulting calendar or just choose grouped, selected holidays. Using Xdata or InData you will import this text, applying style sheets on the fly. Modify the style sheets, colors, master pages, and drag and drop from libraries, to completely control and customize the look of the printed calendar.

The FileMaker Pro database is an OS X or Windows application. You can export the text for use with the QuarkXPress 4/5 application, but you cannot do so on an OS 9 machine. Simply copy the exported text to the Mac where you will use QuarkXPress 4/5.
