November 7, 2014

The Outlook 2010 Calendar is a pretty awesome tool that you can use to schedule meetings effortlessly. If you happen to be working with people who live in other countries, you may not be aware of the holidays that they celebrate. That makes it difficult for you to get your work done, schedule meetings, have discussions or set work schedules. Outlook 2010 has the option to let you add holiday calendars from around the world into your own calendar, so that you are better organized. In this tutorial, we take a look at how to add holiday calendars in Outlook 2010.
