previously, for this example we will select the simple Gregorian calendar with the
Current Year ending on 12/31/2007 (as entered in the Current Year Ends: text box),
all other years ending on 12/31 (as selected by the Years Always End on the Selected
Month and Day option), and the months within each year corresponding to the
Gregorian calendar months (as selected by the Monthly Periods Correspond to the
Calendar Months option), as shown in Figure 7-12.
