They will also fit onto USA standard size paper. The vertical size can be adjusted by changing \datestrut. These files are really just large tables, and so you may wish to extract just the tables and modify them for your own use. I was motivated to design this year-planner as my A4 diary did not have good year-planner at the end. The files run nicely on Latex 2e, and may have to be adjusted very slightly to run on LaTeX 2.09. Dick Nickalls & Harald Harders International support (by Harald Harders) ---------------------------------------- You can switch the language to either english, german, french, spanish, italian, portuguese by inserting the line \usepackage[]{yplan} after the row containing the \documentclass command in the files yplan00a.tex and yplan00b.tex. You have to replace by your language name. In addition you may use month names in lowercase letters (With an uppercase first letter) by adding the keyword lowercase to the optional parameters of the \usepackage command, e.g. \usepackage[german,lowercase]{yplan} However when using yplan.sty the adaption to LaTeX 2.09 isn't possible anymore. If you find an error in the names or abbreviations please send me a note. Harald Harders
