i am using the entourage (version 10.1.6) calendar, but find it irksome
that none of the u.s. holidays are automatically shown. i looked at
entourage help and some other infomationa sections, but none seem to
define how to turn on a function that identifies (and color codes?) the
usual holidays. seems like a natural, but i can't seem to find the
right entry to make it happen. any help appreciated.
In Entourage X you get Holidays from General Preferences/Calendar/Import
Holidays. Choose your country/ies. (In 2004, it's File/Import/Holidays.)
You get the color code (category) for Holiday free. If you want a
color/category for each country to be displayed separately:
If you look carefully, you'll see that every holiday has TWO categories:
Holiday, plus the specific country-holiday. Since Holiday is primary, that's
the color you see. You can change that. Do an Advanced Find for Calendar
Events whose Category is Holiday - United States (or Category contains
United States, to keep it simpler.) In the Results, select one and cmd-A to
select all. Click anywhere it the Category column and pick Assign
Categories..., or just go to Edit/Categories/Assign Categories. In the big
window that comes up you should see both categories checked. Select Holiday
- United States and click the "Make Primary" button at the bottom. All the
selected events will now show the US color. It's good to keep Holiday as a
secondary category for purposes where you want to exclude , or include, all
holidays. Repeat the whole process for all the other countries.
