When you add the holidays to your calendar in outlook they come as
free by default. Is there a way to change that so they show as being
out of the office?
Sure. After adding the holidays, display your calendar in the By Category
view. All the holidays will be in the Holiday category. Now, right-click
on the header line and select Field Chooser. Change the drop-down to "All
APpointment FIelds" and locate the "Show Time As" field. Click and drag it
to the header line, depositing it where you want. The right-click the
column, choose "Group By Box", then right-click again and select "Group by
this Field". AT the top of the view you should see "Categories" and under
that, "Show Time As". Now, select one holiday, click on its entry under the
"Show Time As" column (it should say "Free" by default") and change it to
"Out of Office". You should now see two subgroups under the Holidays
grouping, one labeled "Free" and one labeled "Out of Office". Now select
all the holidays (with click/shift-click or click/ctrl-click) you'd like to
make "out of office" and drag the selection to the "Out of Office" grouping.
Release the mouse button and they'll all get "Out of Office" assigned to
them.
