My mother kept a Page-a-Day Diary for 70 years.
A "sample" is here:-
By road from Isoka, Northern Rhodesia to Nairobi, October, 1940

My father's father kept a Week-to-View Diary for 70 years.
I have all these originals, and want to transcribe them into WORD Documents, one for each year.
So I need a Template.
The "bare bones" are in three parts
1.
The title, centered bold and largem the last word of which is the year.
e.g. Betty Clay's Diary for 1958

2.
Then I need a "summary" - the page is divided into 3 x 3 columns, three months across the page, and for each month the day of the month, the day of the week, and room for a BRIEF entry.
Somehow, the text in the first and middle columns of each month, the day number and the day of the week, must be generated from the year, the month and the incremented day number (i.e. the date !).
e.g. ("The system" screws up the format, deleting spaces ! so ignore the dots)
-----------------------------------


January..............February..........March
1...W..Text ....... 1...S..more......1...S..and
2...T...entry .......2...S..text........2...S..more
3...F...And......... 3...M..and........3...M..more
-----------------------------------

3.
Then the rest of the document has the date in a larger font and bold, with three blank lines not bold in a smaller font size where I can then add the text.
e.g.
-----------------------------------
Wednesday, 01 January 1958

... Lots of text added here later

Thursday, 02 January 1958

... A full day's account typed in

Friday, 03 January 1958

... All very interesting
--------------------------------

I have created exactly that in Excel, but can't transfer this to Word as formatted text with Tab spacing, but without it being an Excel Paste with cell borders, etc.
