Add Pop Up Calendar
4. Open the Word document to which you want to add a pop up calendar.
5. Type the label 'Date:' or a similar label in your desired location in the document, or, if you already have an existing label or text, place your cursor after that text.
6. Click 'Developer' on the ribbon, and then click 'Design Mode.'
7. Click the small calendar icon in the Controls group. Word will insert a field with the words, 'Click here to enter a date.' The user will be able either to type a date or click the down arrow at the end of the field to select a date from a pop up calendar.
