Drag and drop scheduler?

[HollyBee]

Okay, computer folks, I'm trying to figure out if this exists:

 

I want to make a graphic organizer of our day. Kind of like MOTH, but on the computer. I want to be able to create boxes that are different sizes and different colors, then be able to drag them around and drop them where I want them.

 

Does this exist? Oh, and I'm a PC user (I'd love a Mac, but dh worked for IBM for years and so we have a laptop that he bought right before he moved to another company). An iPad might be a possibility in the not to distant future, but we don't have one as of right now.

 

Thanks!

That sounds lovely. I just use a spreadsheet and the merge function.

I don't seem to have graphic organizer as a choice under the insert tab. Is it hiding somewhere?

Under the "Insert" tab, click SmartArt.

Hmmm. Okay, found it. It just doesn't seem very...user friendly? I find myself getting frustrated trying to figure this out. It's probably me. Thanks for the help!:)

Do a search ... I had a hard time with it to start.

 

I tend to go to insert shapes and color them and drag them all over the page. I like that look better because Under say Monday there is a star, octagon, and square which coincide with the subject and include the name, which I overlay with a text box. It makes things very visual this way versus the Excel or graphic organizer.

 

I am not a fan of office 2007 and 2010. I think visually they made a big mess! I do, however, like the functionality once I get it figured out.

Have you looked at the MOTH Schedule Breeze? It makes a MOTH schedule on the computer. You have to have bought and registered a MOTH book, but after that it's $15/year.
