### Names

This sub-pane is only available when Format 6 or 9 is used.
In Formats 6 and 9 - the 1-page-per-week and 1-page per-month ‘family’ calendars - there is a grid of blank boxes and, from a design viewpoint, this blank box area substitutes for the date area in other formats, as already mentioned in the description of the ‘Date area’ sub-pane. This is reflected in the text change shown above for the second radio icon, which now reads “Dates/Blank boxes” instead of its more usual “Date area” (or “Dates/Days” in Format 5).
The first control in this current sub-pane therefore allows the user to choose how many blank area columns there will be e.g. how many family members will be using the calendar. Changing the number of columns (there is a maximum of 9) gives an immediate response on the display and the blank area grid adjusts automatically to fill the user-chosen blank area size with the chosen number of columns - each of the same width. There are, of course, always 7 rows in Format 6 and 28-31 rows in Format 9 (depending on the month). A single row of names boxes to head each column is similarly recalculated.
Beneath this are writable icons to allow user-choice of the Names appearing in the names boxes at the top of each column. If there are less than 9 names columns then writable icons will be disabled correspondingly. The Update button is used to activate name changes.
Below that are two familiar framed areas which control the names boxes height and separation from the blank boxes area, plus the font/size and justification of the names text within their boxes.
