## General Overview

CalEventer is designed to give you more control over Calendar output. Specifically, rather than printing up a graphic calendar or a list of every single day directly from Calendar, CalEventer allows you to select calendars, date ranges, weekdays, and Event Locations so that you can get ONLY the output you need. You are free to use whatever word processor or text editor you wish as well, since CalEventer only provides output to your clipboard. You define the parameters, CalEventer sorts the details, and you decide what to do with the result. CalEventer can provide Plain Text, Rich Text, or HTML formatted Text output. Total freedom.

CalEventer's Main Window is set up as a series of tabs, and its workflow is designed to move from left to right. The Event Preview Window is on the far right, and will be constantly updated as you move across the tabs from left to right. The Help Topics are also in that order.

Upon initial launch, the Event Preview Window will not contain any Event data at all; you must first select at least one Calendar on the Calendar(s) Tab, as depicted in the screenshot above.

The screenshot below displays how the right side of the Main Window can be stretched rightward to reduce the need for word wrap inside of the Event Preview Window:

I have tried to make the left to right organization of the Tabs as intuitive as possible. Please be aware that due to this design, any time you edit inside of a leftward Tab from wherever you are in CalEventer, any changes you have made on a rightward tab will be lost. For instance, if you select your calendars, define a date range, check some weekdays, and then choose some Locations, you will lose all checked Locations if you go back to ANY of the previous three tabs (Calendars, Dates, or Weekdays) and make new selections.
