however... the hol is just a text file with a different filename.... so you
just have to change the filename to outlook.txt. If your version uses ANSI
encoded texts, open it in notepad and resave as ANSI encoding.

...
the outlook2012.hol file is for newer versions of outlook (not for Outlook
2000). You (and me) need to find the updated outlook.txt file; I haven't
found it on Microsoft's website...

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...
