1. **Open Google Docs** – Go to [docs.google.com](https://docs.google.com/) and open the document where you want to create the calendar.
2. **Click on “Insert”** – From the top menu, click on **“Insert”** and then hover over **“Table”**.
3. **Select the Table Size** – Choose a **7x6 table** (7 columns for the days of the week and 6 rows for the weeks in a month).
4. **Label the Days of the Week** – In the first row, type the days of the week: **Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday**.
5. **Add Dates** – Start filling in the table with the dates of the month, placing each number in the corresponding day column (e.g., if the 1st of the month is a Monday, place "1" under **Monday**).
6. **Customize the Table** –
   
      - Adjust the size of the cells to make them square-like by clicking and dragging the lines.
      - You can also **bold** or **color** the days of the week for better readability.
7. **Add Events or Notes (Optional)** – If you want to mark specific dates, just type events or notes in the corresponding day’s cell (e.g., “Meeting” on the 5th).
8. **Done** – Your calendar is now ready! You can further customize it with colors, borders, and more.
