As I just got the 820 I wondered about this exactly! I had been doing the calendar
on just one side but I know people like larger boxes to write in and I could print
the picture side from photoshop avoiding the terribly large publisher file sizes.

My first calendar was for the purpose - but actually I am selling them for $11.50
and
have a few orders already.
I think, ahving done all the work on the image files, I may shift to the method you
are
using now that I know that is possible... It would actually change my front cover
and make it better. I'm inspired -- now i have to set up the 820!
thanks for the input..
