  Question
  I went through the process of adding holidays to my calendar, but they are
not showing up on the calendar. It is possible that I somehow reset the view
of my calendar and have made them not visible, but I have no idea how/when
that occured and how to change it back. I am also not able to read the text
of my task list. How do I reset it so that I may see these items again?

downloaded them, but they are not appearing.

After you download them, you must add them to the calendar. Double-click
the HOL file and follow the prompts. Since you don't say that you did that
after downloading, I can only assume you didn't.

If you view your calendar in the By Categories view, do you see the
"Holiday" category? Are you sure you're examining your default calendar
folder?

A HOL file is a text file containing the holiday definitions. The
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/missinghol.htm site contains link to a HOL
file containing holidays through 2012. Download that file to your PC.
Display your calendar in the By Category view and delete the existing
holidays. Then double-click the HOL file and follow the prompts to add the
holidays again.

  I installed my holidays and I don't want to use the category view. They do
not appear on my monthly view. I'm assuming that there is a very simple way
to view my holidays on a day/week/month view. Is this true? I don't see my
solution in these posts.

  Yes, I see the Holiday category when I'm in the By Categories view.

Now, can someone tell me how to view these holidays in my day/week/month view?

Have tried using the view/current view/by category and then trying to get a
monthly view from there.

Not working. As soon as I go to a monthly view, I see my scheduled
appointments but no holidays.

I do NOT want to use my calendar in the By Categories view. Can I view
holidays in my monthly view?

The last response did not give me useful information that I could understand.

  What is the end date on the holidays in your By Category view? They will
not display in 2008 if the end date is 2007. You will need to install the
updated holiday file.

If the holidays go to 2012, then you should reset the month view.
