Auto format holiday entries in Outlook 2007

[Jeff]

I have set up a bunch of auto formatting in my outlook 2007 calendar...but no matter what i do to try and format the holidays (ie the ones from TOOLS, OPTIONS, PREFERENCES TAB, CALENDAR OPTIONS, ADD HOLIDAYS) nothing seems to happen...
i tried various things but nothing seems to work...
is there any way to get the Holiday entries to auto format?

Thanks in advance.

So what did you try?
An Automatic Formatting entry based on the Category should do the trick.

I tried the following but nothing still works...

Location contains United
Category = Holiday

both were from EDIT, AUTOMATIC FORMATTING, CONDITION, ADVANCED TAB

What happens when you only use the Category condition? Also sort your
Automatic Formatting rules accordingly.

sorry...i meant to say that i tried each of those seperately...and neither worked...

if i manually assign a category to it then it will color based upon the category...but i don't want to have to manually categorize each one...

any thoughts?
