Worked perfectly. Diane, you're a genius.

Diane, thanks for the quick reply. that is the answer I was expecting, while still hoping that there was a way back. Oh well, Jeffrey

I don't know what happened: I had a category list open, saw a contact that no longer belonged in that category, highlighted the contact, right clicked and clicked on that category. Outlook then proceeded to remove that category assignment from everyone in the category. Category then had no one...

Well well. I just found that while Christmas (a US? Holiday), and New Years, isn't indicated on my calendar for 2014, I do see them in 2015. I haven't spent the time to check 2016, 2017, etc, to see if they appear/disappear. So at least some holidays are on my personal calendar, at least in...

oh well. didn't work. I don't use favorites or shortcuts, so seemingly nothing to lose. used /resetnavpane switch. Went through the Home>save current as new calendar group routine again (must have done this 15 times today). Closed and re-opened just the calendar window (no issues about...

I think that I don't understand what you are trying to explain to me. Isn't the merged calendar the "last used position"? Just tried closing both windows separately. Opened Outlook, then opened calendar as new window. Same as before: only personal calendar opened (it may be whatever calendar...

I have calendar window opening along with main window showing mail, when Outlook starts. Outlook is in win7 startup folder, and I have to file>exit when closing to get Outlook to remember to open mail and calendar screens when it starts. I have the outlook.com folder as the startup folder, so I...

yes, group checked. In fact when I restarted Outlook, and found either Holidays or Personal not showing, the Group was checked but one or the other calendar was not. Similar to many things in Outlook, doesn't make sense. Thanks for the help, Mike. Perhaps someone can chime in with more ideas.

Sad, but this doesn't work either. saved New Calendar Group, closed and reopened outlook and saw only the Holidays opened. Under my New Calendar Group, personal calendar sat unchecked. Checked personal calendar, both were showing, merged, closed and reopened, now only personal calendar open...

I didn't find a "save overlay" option. but I did use View>change view> save current view as new view. This didn't help. Reopening Outlook still gave me my personal calendar without the holiday overlay. In fact changing view to the "new view" didn't add the overlay either. I had to click on...

I am having what I believe is the same problem. The US Holidays show at the Outlook.com calendar along with my personal entries but not at Outlook 2013. I have tried overlaying (check US Holidays calendar in folders bar, then left arrow to combine the holiday and personal calendars. ), but when...

curiously, entering a calendar item on desktop, with "no reminder" becomes a "start time" reminder when it gets to phone, But, entering a calendar item on phone, with "no reminder" remains "no reminder" when it gets to desktop. so, the change in reminders only happens in one direction...

I looked at the reminder options for my calendar. "start time" was the least amount of time that I saw. Didn't see "no reminder". but if it doesn't work, guess it doesn't matter. I know that it was reported almost 2 years ago. Too bad about the various "bugs" that MS doesn't seem to care...

My experience and research indicates that if I try to use Outlook.com (Hotmail) to sync desktop Outlook (2013) calendar with Windows Phone (8.1) calendar, create an appointment in desktop with reminder set to "none", Outlook.com will reset it to whatever value the default is set to at...

correction: I had startup folder set to "outlook today". browse showed "outlook" highlighted. highlighting "outlook" now no longer gives "outlook today", "outlook".

I have had the startup folder set to "outlook". Since connecting with outlook.com it chooses to show me the empty outlook.com contacts folder. Is there a way to get back that legacy "outlook" view, showing todays appts, messages, task, (showing appts from outlook.com folder), while still...

I have been trying Companionlink again, and after finding appointments entered on my Windows Phone not syncing to desktop decided to try using Onedrive only for calendar syncing. Also the Windows phone calendar is nicer to use than Companionlink's Dejaoffice calendar. (I have tried using...

Thanks Diane. Categories is the primary drawback for me in using outlook.com. That contacts are stripped of categories, they can't be reliably assigned in outlook (even though group assignments show up in Outlook contacts looking like categories), and that at Outlook.com and on Windows phone...

I have a win7 with Outlook 2013, to sync with Nokia 925 Windows 8.1 phone. Want to sync contacts and calendar. Outlook.com doesn't accept Outlook categories, and assigning categories on the computer if syncing through Outlook.com is unstable. Also email groups don't transfer. It never occurred...

Diane, -I seem to have calendar working ok. -Contacts: there are some contacts that appear on the laptop, in outlook, in the outlook.com folder. But they don't appear in People at outlook.com site. Hence they are not syncing to my phone. so, any ideas how to get the two files to match? and...
