add holidays

[Diann]

I can't seem to add holidays to my personal calendar. Each time I try it
only adds holidays to the default calendar. Help.

This is normal behavior. You can copy the holidays to any other calendar.
The By Category view should help.

I still can't figure out how to copy the holidays from one calendar to
another. The By Category shows me the holidays on the default calendar and
shows me old (2002) holidays as well as annual events. I can't figure out
how to select 2004 holidays copy and paste to my personal calendar.

I may be missing the obvious but I have tried.

Your original message implied that you'd already added holidays to your
default calendar. If you haven't done that already, see

Once you have the holidays you want, select them, then choose Edit | Copy to
Folder.

Sue, thanks for continuing to help. I have successfully copied holidays to
my alendar. I just had a hard time figuring out that I could "select all"
and then copy and paste in the the by category view. I really appreciate
your patience and help.

You can also select the Category: Holiday group and Ctrl+drag it to another
folder to copy, but that's even harder to figure out on your own!
