Before you plan activities and make schedules, you can add standard holidays to the Calendar so you can accommodate them in your plans. If you work with international contacts, it would also be helpful to know when standard holidays in other countries occur. You can also easily add holidays for different countries and regions. The Calendar treats holidays as events, listing them in a banner at the beginning of the appropriate day. Outlook automatically assigns all holidays to the Holiday category, so that when you view your activities by category, the holidays are grouped together. Outlook includes holidays for over 70 countries or regions , as well as religious holidays for three religions. When you add holidays, all the holidays for the country or region you selected are added for the years 2003 through 2007. You must add the holidays to your calendar because they are not added by default, even for your own country. However, when you open the Add Holidays To Calendar dialog box, your country is already selected for you. Add Holidays
