you need to rename it - however, depending on your version, the file may not
work since yours uses ANSI file format and the HOL is probably unicode.
Rename it to outlook.txt and try it - if it fails, open it in notepad and
resave as ANSI text format. (It should fail if you have outlook 2000.)
to save as ansi, from notepad's file, save as menu, choose ANSI encoding and
save as outlook.txt.
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/missinghol.htm#hol has a ANSI version of
the file - but since you already have the file, you really don't need to
download it again.

I have installed the holiday file, but obviously did not do something
right
in Outlook. I placed the outlook2012.hol file in the c:\program
files\microsoft office\ofice\1033 directory and saw the old outlook.txt
file,
but am confused as to whether I am supposed to rename the new file to
outlook.txt? When I tried to install holidays from Outlook it simply
added
them again to 2007 and back. When I renamed the old outlook.txt file to
something else thinking it would automatically find outlook2012.hol, it
asked
for the install disk and added the 2007 and older holidays again. Please
help...
