    • Double-click the required date on the calendar.

    • Use the Shift and Ctrl keys to select more than one date.

    • Use the month and year drop-downs to specify the month and year > Select OK.

  3. If you don't know the date and it isn't required, use any of these methods to specify that the date is unknown:
