Overview

The Month Navigation Pane shows one or more months, allowing quick navigation to a different date.

• When a date is selected from the Month Navigation Pane, the Calendar View will automatically update to display the selected date. 
• The current date will be outlined with a red square, while the date selection is filled with orange. Dates having one or more events are shown as bold. 
• Week numbers can be displayed or hidden in the Month Navigation Pane via a Calendar Option.
• The display of the Navigation Pane can be toggled on or off from the View Menu. 

First Day of the Week

The first day of the week will vary depending on your Window's regional settings.  For example, in the USA, the first day of the week defaults to Sunday (as shown in the example image above).  In the UK, it defaults to Monday. This default setting is a Calendar Option that can be overridden to allow any day to be selected as the first day of the week. 

Resizing the Navigation Pane

The Month Navigation Pane can be resized by clicking on its border and dragging the mouse, or by resizing the main window. Depending on its size, the number of months that are displayed will be adjusted accordingly. For example, if you're only want to see one month at a time, the pane could be resized as shown below.

If you'd like to see more months, like for a whole year, you could resize the Month Navigation Pane as shown below.

Navigating Displayed Months

Regardless of how many months are displayed at one time, you can easily scroll the month(s) that are displayed by clicking the left or right arrows that are displayed in the month name header on the top row. These are circled below.  Note you can also use the navigation arrows displayed next to the date label in the Calendar View to navigate between months.

Context Menu Commands

The Month Navigation Pane also has a context menu that is accessible by right clicking.
