To fill all the recurring holidays of a holidays set with holidays symbols, use the Symbols menu item of the recurring holidays toolbar menu in the holidays manager, as shown in the image on the right.

The sub-menu which the opens-up has 4 menu items.

•Fill entire set with default symbols: this will set the symbol property of each and every recurring holiday to the value of the current holidays set's default symbols.

•Fill only blanks with default symbols: same as above, but will only act on recurring holidays whose symbol field value is blank.

•Fill entire set with ...: this sets the symbol property of every recurring holiday in the current holidays set to the symbol(s) you select.

•Fill only blanks with ...: same as above, but will only act on recurring holidays whose symbol field value is blank.
