At-a-glance view showing holidays

Holidays only show up in my outlook calendar display when I view a
particular day that happens to be a holiday. Appointments show as
*bold* on the month pane - so they're easy to spot. I would like
holidays to also stand out on the month pane - preferably in some
different way to appointments (to be able to use different coulours for
this would be good - but if that can't be done, then maybe italics or
something would do).

I have searched the online help and knowledge base, and done a bit of a
google search - and still can't see how to do what must surely be a
common task. Surely people before me have wanted to be able to look at
a month display (with days of the week across the top and numbers
representing the dates in a grid) and see at a glance which days are
holidays and on which days you have appointments (and to be able to
know which are which).

Regards
Mike.

In Outlook 2002 and 2003, use calendar coloring.

OK. Thanks. Only... how? When I left-click on the "pallette" it shows a
checkbox for "Vacation" - but it's grey-ed out and inactive. What
should I look for in "help"? I did look for "calendar coloring" - and
tried Calendar|Automatic Formatting|Add|Label|Condition.. but it didn't
really seem to fit with what I was trying to do - which is surely a
very simple and common thing. Look at any printed calendar. Doesn't it
have public holidays highlighted on it in some way? This really should
be a "plain as the nose on your face" thing, imo.

Mike.

PS. I realise you must be extremely busy to be so terse, and that
you're probably really a very nice person.
