To change the starting day for each week of a calendar, follow these steps:

On the File menu, click Open and open the Calendar Wizard (Calendar Wizard.wiz).

By default, the Calendar Wizard.wiz template is located in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Other Documents
NOTE: This location may be different on your system, depending on where you installed the Calendar Wizard.
On the Tools menu, point to Macro and click Visual Basic Editor.
In the Project window, double-click the Calendar module. You may need to expand the Modules folder listed in the TemplateProject (Calendar) project.

NOTE: If the Project window does not appear, click Project Explorer on the View menu.
On the Edit menu, click Find.
In the Find What box, type iWeekStartDay and then click Find Next.

After iWeekStartDay is found, click Cancel.

The following macro code lines are found near the top of the macro:

' Localization Note: iWeekStartDay is the starting day of the week (Sun = 0, Mon = 1, ...Sat = 6)
Public Const iWeekStartDay       As Integer = 0

To change the default starting day for your calendar, change the Integer value to one of the following:
Starting day of week Value
Sunday 0
Monday 1
Tuesday 2
Wednesday 4
Thursday 5
Friday 6
Saturday 7
For example, if you want your calendar week to begin on Monday, change the Integer value to 1, as in the following example:
```
Public Const iWeekStartDay       As Integer = 1
```
On the File menu, click Save Calendar.
On the File menu, click Close and Return to Microsoft Word to close the Visual Basic Editor.
On the File menu, click Close to close the Calendar Wizard.

Now, when you run the Calendar Wizard, your calendar week begins with the day that you specified in the macro.
