OK,

I downloaded that and opened in 1.3.3.13svn

It is a bit tricky but first of all open the layers dialog
Unlock everything
Select Calendar text and select January

OK so far?

Now save it somewhere, give it a new name, test.sla

You should be able to reopen without any problems

Doing it in 1.3.5 has some problem with the flubber font but I amnot
going to chase this up

If you go to edit->styles, you will be able to change the styles for
various elements
