Getting the Job Done

It's the beginning of the year and time to set up your 2010 calendar. Here are some tasks that you may want to tackle right away.

• Add holidays and events.
  Choose: Tools
  Choose: Options
  Choose: Calendar Options.
  Under Calendar options
  Choose: Add Holidays
  Choose: check box next to each country/region whose holidays you want to add to your calendar
  Choose: OK

  Note: Your own country/region is automatically selected.

Note: If you already added a country's or region's holidays to your calendar, the check box for that country/region is selected in the Add Holidays to Calendar dialog box. If you try to add the same items again, you receive the following message: Holidays for country/region are already installed. Do you want to install them again? If you click Yes, the holidays and events are installed a second time, and you see duplicate holiday and event entries.

• Delete unnecessary holidays and events.
  In Calendar, on the View menu,
  Point: to Current View
  Choose: Events
  Select: the holidays that you want to delete

Note: To select multiple rows, press the CTRL key, and then click other rows. Click the Calendar icon to select a row. Do not click in the data cells of the row.

On the Standard toolbar,
Choose: Delete

Note: You can also use these steps to delete any duplicate holidays that were added while you were adding holidays to your calendar.

Note:   To quickly delete all of the holidays for a country/region, click the Location column heading to sort the list of events, so that it displays all of the holidays for a country/region together.
