Gets worse with every version:
The Calendar Creator 9 packaging lists among features: "Save as HTML, Bitmap or JPEG." After you install it, you find that this feature is available only in the Deluxe Edition. I can't get CC9 (or CC8) to print correctly in PCL or Postscript. I didn't have these problems in the early versions.

Calender Creator 9:
This item has a lot of variety! You have to take the time to go through all that is offered .... the help page tells you all you need to do as far as details. I would buy this item again. I would have found it more helpful to have a manual instead of the online help. It's more convenient than having to log online to use the help button.

Will not install using XP:
I could not get Calendar Creator 9 to install on my Dell using Windows XP.

Creative Calendar 9:
The only thing 'Creative' about this software is its description. It has less features than the previous version, but it has more useless clipart, thus the version upgrade. Nowhere does it tell you that it is not network compatible (for a home network - specifically different printers)until you try to print pages to a different printer on your home network. Then you get some inane error message about paper stock. After spending an inordinate amount of time on Broderbund's 'Creative' support site, you finally learn that this entire line of Calendar software (minus one version) is not network compatible. There are other things I could tell you about this too, but overall, take some advice and don't buy this title.

I Wish I Had My Money Back:
I bought this program (Deluxe 9 version) because the description said it would be compatible with my Palm Pilot. It might be. I don't think I'll ever know because I cannot get the program to install with Windows XP. I've spent hours trying to solve the problem, including serving time at Broderbund's technical support site. So far, I've had no luck. Worse still, it seems to conflict with another of Broderbund's products on my computer, PrintMaster. It sounded so appealing but I think this program is going to end up in my junk heap. Save yourself time and money; don't buy this.
