 - DissappointedDissappointed, product does not do what it claims and is difficult to use. Would not recommend. Rating:  - Picture layout changes from screen to printerI attempted to lay out several pictures for each monthly calendar. The layout changed from what was on my screen to what would actually print out. I experienced quality degradation of my photos that I couldn't fix. The background color had to be the same for every month. It was very challenging to figure out how to make the program produce a calendar where each month fit over two pages, pictures on the top page, calendar dates on the bottom page, in landscape mode (so that it could be comb bound in the middle). I finally gave up using this program for the photo part of the calendar. I printed the pictures using Adobe Photoshop, the calendar using this program, and took it to a color printing shop for duplication. Rating: - major disappointmentI had a much earlier version of calendar creator and was forced to upgrade because of a new microsoft operating system. Sadly, the programmers at Broderbund have not been kind to this program in the meantime. Where it used to be easy to add multiple items to the calendar, it is now a more laborious process. Where it was easy to format printing for standard filofax paper, it's now not. You used to be able to print a very plain, simple format, not tarted up with pictures, fancy layouts, etc. No more, or certainly not easily. Someone should tell software companies that more is not always better!!! Rating:  - Calendar Creator 12I have used Calendar Creator since it first came out (pre broderbund) and have been very happy with it. CC#9 gave me some problems but they seem to have straightened them out in CC12. A lot of the glitches have been ironed out and the program is again fun to use. I recommend Calendar Creator 12 to anyone who makes their own calendars. Rating:  - the latest upgrade for Calendar Creatorbought a new IBM / Lenovo ThinkPad T60, my working perfectly copy of Release 9 Calendar Creator would not load on the XP Pro -- yet it works perfectly on my old T42 with XP Pro!!! IBM of course, pointed to the Calendar Creator 9 as the problem -- this Release 12 loaded and works perfect on my new laptop, much cheaper here at Amazon than from Broderbund direct
