| Color holidays automatically |
| |
Adding foreign holidays to the Calendar is easy. However, Outlook doesn't differentiate foreign from domestic holidays.
If your users travel frequently and want to see local holidays set off from "home" holidays, have them set up an automatic formatting condition to handle it. Outlook 2002 allows users to format a view so that holidays from a specified country appear in a particular color.
To color all holidays from a given country:
Choose View | Current View | Customize Current View and click Automatic Formatting.
Click Add and enter an original name for the view into the Name field (e.g., "Holidays - ", replacing with the country name).
Select the label color from the Label drop-down list. Click Condition and then click Advanced.
Click the Field drop-down button, choose All Appointment Fields, and choose Location.
Choose Contains from the Condition drop-down list and enter the country name in the Value field.
Click OK and close all of the dialog boxes.
The Calendar view now shows the holidays for the selected country using the color of label you chose. |
