   You could consider using LibreOffice, a free office suite similar to   
   Microsoft Office. It included a word processor and spreadsheet. It can   
   read many formats, including at least some Word Perfect varieties.   
      
   The last version of LibreOffice to support Windows 7 is 25.2.7.2 which   
   came out October last year. You can get it here. Turn off the update   
   checking so it won't encourage you to update to a version that won't work:   
      
   https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/2   
   .2.7.2/win/x86_64/   
      
      
   I think a spreadsheet would be more appropriate, since by its very nature   
   it thinks in grids like a calendar. There are calendar templates available   
   so you wouldn't have to make your own. Here's an Excel one that LibreOffice   
   can read:
