I found that it wasn't helpful to have the year included, or day of the week at the end, so I made a couple tweaks that I thought I'd share. I couldn't get them to work as three separate lines-- not sure why, but my solution did get my desired result. The page names now appear as Mon 6-Jan, Fri 17-Jan, etc.

In the editor, if you expand the code snip While($i <= $Days) --the last section in the macro--, you'll find a section with While (Array_Length($ParagraphObjects_5) 0)

I combined three of these elements and I rearranged the order to get the page name that I wanted.
The elements I replaced were:
$ParagraphObject_4.text = (((($i + "-") + $Month) + "-") + $Year)
$ParagraphObject_4.text += " "
$ParagraphObject_4.text += ($DayNames[((($i - 1) + $Start) % 7)] + " ")

I deleted them all (Unfortunately I couldn't get them to just comment out :/) and replaced them with the below, which removes the year and some spaces, along with moving day of the week to the front.

$ParagraphObject_4.text += (($DayNames[((($i - 1) + $Start) % 7)] + " ") + (($i + "-") + $Month))

Note, though, that I also changed the months and days arrays to be only three characters for brevity. The above will only remove the year from the page name, but will display the Month and Day of week as it is displayed in your code.

Instruction for those who want to update the macro to include the next years (you can do it with the Free license):

1) Open OneNote and inside the "Home" toolbar menu open "Edit Macros" > "Diary Pages".

2) Edit 11th line of the code with the years you wish. For example:
DialogBox_AddDropDown($dialog_box, "Select &Year", "Year", $year, Array(2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032))

3) Edit 18th line of the code (the "If") line with the leap years. For example:
If (((($Month != "January") && ($Month != "February")) && (((($Year == 2016) || ($Year == 2020)) || ($Year == 2024)) || ($Year == 2028))) || ($Year == 2032))

4) Unroll the code under "If $Month == "February" and add the leap years, just like in the 3rd step. For example:
If ((((($Year == 2016) || ($Year == 2020)) || ($Year == 2024)) || ($Year == 2028)) || ($Year == 2032))

Hello Developers,

First of all thank you for this macro, as I tend to use it for the 3rd year of daily notes.

Second of all, do you have any plans of extending the date range above 2020?

Sorry, correct I meant OneNote crashes when combining a template with the dairy macro, but it works fine when combining with the DML macro, which is counter-intuitive since the DML has more bells and whistles and the dairy is a lean macro.

Littlefield: Do you mean OneNote crashes? (You said Outlook). If you e-mail support@getonetastic.com we can look into the crash.

Interesting, the Daily Manager Log macro was able to reproduce 365 days on top of the template that caused the diary macro to crash. Now I just need to learn how to redesign the DML fields for my purposes since I haven't waited tables in some time.

Hi Omar, Outlook crashes every time I set template for all new pages in a notebook and then run the diary macro. Could you please see if there's a bug? Thanks for the swift reply to my previous post.

Littlefield: Set up a template on the section using OneNote's built-in Page templates feature and all new pages should get the template. Also look at Daily Manager Log macro which fills in the page with a certain content but is much complicated than this.

Super time saver, thank you! Now how to populate each day/page with a template, so I don't need to manually copy it 365 times to each page? Does this macro already exist?

CardDolphin: That might happen if OneNote hit the issue while running a macro (macro updates a page and while saving that page, OneNote crashes). In that case OneNote thinks Onetastic caused the crash and recommends disabling it.

Thank you!  When it crashes, it usually says there's a problem with the Onetastic plugin and asks if I want to disable it.  I always say NO, because I use Onetastic quite a bit.

CardDolphin: This is a bug in OneNote. I reported to them. This isn't related to the macro itself but happens when OneNote saves your data.

It just happened again today (5.30.17) but I cannot find the problem report.  Here's the Watson bucket number from when it occured on 5.10.17.  ce1eee48b81b45514c6d9cbaebfb2e99 (108874374408)

CardDophin: Please share the Watson bucket number for the crash. See https://getonetastic.com/?i=watson-bucket-number

Hello,
I last ran this macro about 3 weeks ago with no issues; however, today when I'm running this macro it causes my OneNote to crash.  I've re-downloaded and installed the latest version of OneTastic and the latest version of the Diary Pages macro, but the issue is unresolved.  Any suggestions on what to try next?

cr0cus: Updated the macro to set the created page of the pages to the date in the title

Hi Guys/Gals!
Thank you for making our lives better.
I so love the auto-populate thing w/ this diary.
* Is it possible that every page made is the SAME DATE stamp as the title?
- this would be perfect for the OneCalendar if I would go to future dates and write an entry or something...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Very helpful - thanks :-)

john brown: You are probably looking for something like the Recent Notes macro at https://getonetastic.com/macroland&id=6E5709798881443AB2C7E0E1DBAA011E

This was not at all what I expected. I was expecting a diary of all one-note activity for a given time period. I.e. format edit logs into a diary of notes and edits by day. That would be very useful for creating time sheets. A brief description that said "this will create a boat-load of empty notes" would have dispossessed me of that idea.
Thanks, jb
