Hi Chani,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum regarding the calendar template. I understand the confusion when January 3rd is shown incorrectly as a Friday. The template you are currently using is for the year 2025, and the 2026 calendar template has not yet been released. That is why the dates do not align correctly for 2026.
As a workaround, you have a few options:
- Adjust the 2025 template manually so that the dates match the 2026 calendar.
- Create a custom calendar by building a table in Word or Excel and setting the start date to January 1, 2026. This will generate the correct sequence of days and dates.
- Download a 2026 calendar template from other trusted sources online, which may already have the correct version available.
Hopefully my reply gives you some useful direction toward fixing this.
