Outlook 2010 assigns a color category named Holiday to all the local holidays it

adds to your calendar. To view all the holidays on your calendar, enter category:holiday

in the Search box. Note that Outlook adds each holiday for the next 20 years to

the calendar, so the entire list of results might not be displayed immediately (only the

first 200 results). If the search returns more than 200 results, add search criteria to

narrow down the field (for example, start:2012 to view all holidays in 2012) or click

the information bar at the top of the search results list to display the entire list. You

can narrow your search by using any of the displayed column headers followed by a

colon and a search specification.

A basic search returns only the first 200 results; click the information bar to display all the

results.

To remove national holidays from your calendar, follow these steps:

1. Use the Search function to locate the holidays you want to remove.


2. Select individual holidays you want to remove; or click any holiday in the list
   to activate the list, and then press Ctrl+A to select all the holidays in the
   search results.


3. Press the Delete key.
   Tip If you inadvertently add two sets of holidays from one country to the calendar,
   the easiest way to rectify the situation is to remove all of that country’s holidays and
   then add them again.
