Holidays

[AJS]

Hello,
I tried to insert the holidays from different countries into my calendar.
"tools - options - etc. "
But when I open the calendar no holidays are showing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
AJS

Older versions of Outlook will require a holiday update which is available
via the Office website.

Thank you,
I updated Office and now the holidays are showing.
One more question, I marked German and US holidays, can I have them in
different colors? Or can I at least change the color of how the holidays are
marked?
Thanks,
AJS

I updated Office and now the holidays are showing.
One more question, I marked German and US holidays, can I have them in
different colors? Or can I at least change the color of how the holidays
are
marked?

Which version of Outlook?

Outlook 2003

Since colors in Outlook 2003 are controlled by the labels, you'dd have to
give the two sets of holidays different labels to have them appear in
different colors.

Thanks, but I am not sure how to give the two sets of holidays different
labels.

Give one of the holidays the label you want. Then view your calendar in a
table view and group by the label. Select all the holidays you wish to
change (click/cltrl-click or shift-click to select multiple items) and drag
the selection to the label group.

Thanks, just one last question, what is the table view?

Any view not in the "Day/Week/Month" collection is a table view.
