The consolidation of Outlook labels and categories in 07 as compared to 03
results in having to use many more mouse clicks to apply basic color codes
to
outlook calendar appointments. I use as many as 30 categories for various
projects and office jobs that change over time and whose colors would not
be
useful to try to remember or apply to appointments. Rather, being able to
code a few simple colors for things like "in office appointment" "out of
office but in town appointment" "personal reminder," "out of town travel
hold," "office work hold," or "vacation" helps me see at a glance where I
am
suppose to be and whether the particular calendar item is a hard
commitment,
flexible, or just a good idea that might move easily. To do that with
categories in 2007 requires many more mouse clicks to select among my
large
number of categories than applying simple labels in 2003 and prior.
