added holidays but can't see them. How do I get them to show up?

[Guest]

I went through the process of adding holidays to my calendar, but they are
not showing up on the calendar. It is possible that I somehow reset the view
of my calendar and have made them not visible, but I have no idea how/when
that occured and how to change it back. I am also not able to read the text
of my task list. How do I reset it so that I may see these items again?

I still cannot see the holidays on my weekly calendar view. I have
downloaded them, but they are not appearing.

downloaded them, but they are not appearing.

After you download them, you must add them to the calendar. Double-click
the HOL file and follow the prompts. Since you don't say that you did that
after downloading, I can only assume you didn't.

Did all that, Outlook says they are installed, but still nothing in my
calendar.
Anyone got other ideas?

If you view your calendar in the By Categories view, do you see the
"Holiday" category? Are you sure you're examining your default calendar
folder?

 

[Alexaundrea]

I am having the same problem. I follow the link form the page given to the
update and it says I do not have to update.

What is a HOL?

any help would be great this is a new job for me and new computer programs
for me too.
thanks for the help

I installed my holidays and I don't want to use the category view. They do
not appear on my monthly view. I'm assuming that there is a very simple way
to view my holidays on a day/week/month view. Is this true? I don't see my
solution in these posts.

 

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

Do you have the holidays for the current year and through 2012?

Yes, I see the Holiday category when I'm in the By Categories view.

Now, can someone tell me how to view these holidays in my day/week/month view?

Have tried using the view/current view/by category and then trying to get a
monthly view from there.

Not working. As soon as I go to a monthly view, I see my scheduled
appointments but no holidays.

I do NOT want to use my calendar in the By Categories view. Can I view
holidays in my monthly view?

The last response did not give me useful information that I could understand.

What is the end date on the holidays in your By Category view? They will
not display in 2008 if the end date is 2007. You will need to install the
updated holiday file.

If the holidays go to 2012, then you should reset the month view.

I am having the same problem. I follow the link form the page given to the
update and it says I do not have to update.

What is a HOL?

A HOL file is a text file containing the holiday definitions. The
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/missinghol.htm site contains link to a HOL
file containing holidays through 2012. Download that file to your PC.
Display your calendar in the By Category view and delete the existing
holidays. Then double-click the HOL file and follow the prompts to add the
holidays again.

 

[DreK]

So I've updated the holidays, but now it says that I can't use them on my
version of Outlook. I have a registered version of Microsoft Office Standard
Edition 2003 for Students and Teachers and I found no other update available
to download.

I appreciate any help with this but I admit I'm getting very weary. Please
pass on to Microsoft that this system isn't acceptable.

Hi.

I've had the same problem, but I am now able to see the holidays in my
calender. Only problem is that in the overview, the days that are holidays
should also be highlighted, the same way that days where I have appointments
are highlighted. Do you know where you set this? I assumed that all entries
in the calender would make that particular day be highlighted in the
ocverview, but for some reason they are not, unless I have another
appointment on the same day as a holiday...

What is the end date on the holidays in your By Category view? They will
not display in 2008 if the end date is 2007. You will need to install the
updated holiday file.

You mean bolded in the little calendars? Only appointments set as Busy cause
it to be bolded.
