1.  Using Word Documents With DJCalendar

DJCalendar interacts with Microsoft Word documents similar to the way DJCalendar interacts with HTML Custom Forms.  You create a custom form template in Microsoft Word and DJCalendar will automatically insert your client data.  The only difference is that we use "Bookmarks" when working with Microsoft Word Documents as opposed to using "[Field Names]" when working with HTML Custom Forms.  The good news is that the "Bookmarks" inserted into your Microsoft Word Documents will use the same name as the "[Field Names]" inserted into your custom HTML forms.  

 (To get a list of "Bookmark" fields you can insert into your Microsoft Word Document, open DJCalendar and from the main calendar form, select "File" from the menu bar, then select "Setup".  Click on the tab labled "Custom Forms" and you will see a button labeled "View Contract Fields").

Step 1:  Create a document in Microsoft Word.  You can create any documents that comes to your imagination.  For example:  Contracts, Wedding Applications, Invoices, Reminder Letters, etc...

Step 2:  Once you have created your Microsoft Word document, you can begin inserting "Bookmarks" into your document which basically tells DJCalendar where to insert the client data. 

...with your Microsoft Word document open, put your cursor in the location where the client's name should be inserted.   Now select "Insert" from the menu bar, then select "Bookmark".  Type in the bookmark "FirstName" and click the button labled "Add".   Congratulations, you have just inserted your first bookmark at the current cursor location.

Inserting Bookmarks into Microsoft Word Documents

1st - Click your cursor somewhere on your Microsoft Word Document (wherever you would like your client data inserted).

2nd - Click "Insert" from the menu bar, then select "Bookmark"

3rd - Type in field name,  FirstName  ,   and click on the button labled "Add".

Congratulations!  You have just inserted a bookmark labled "FirstName" into your Microsoft Word Document.  When you print this Microsoft Word Document from within your DJCalendar program, DJCalendar will automatically insert your Client's First Name at the precise location of your bookmark.    If you later find that your bookmarks are out of place or the cursor locations need to be adjusted, you can follow the above instructions, but instead of clicking the "Add" button, click on the "Delete" button and then follow the above instructions to re-insert your bookmark in the correct cursor location.
