Hello all,

In my old machine I had setup the calendar to color the entries based
on the category. When I copied the entries from my old machine to the
new machine, the coloring no longer seems to work.

I have Outlook 2000 SP3 installed on both the old and new machines.
However I cant recollect how I setup outlook to color the entries.

Would appreciate any pointers for this.

Thanks in advance.

Raj

Were you using Conditional Formatting? Go to the Tools menu Organize
command and see if there's a Using Color tab

ToolsOrganize in the calendar view shows only using categories and
using views.
However if I select Inbox and do ToolsOrganize, it shows using color
also.

Am I missing the Using color tab for some reason in the calendar?

Thanks,

Hmmm, same here but you can get to Conditional Formatting the long way. Go
into the view you want to use then go to the View menu Arrange by
Current View Customize Current View Automatic Formatting

Hello Vince,

When i try to customize my default view: Day/Week/Month, the Automatic
Formatting button is disabled. It is enabled only in the views which
are based on a table. Even in the tabled based views, I can configure
the font colour and not the background colour of the entry.

Incidentaly, I have noticed that when I am adding a new appointment, in
the "show time as:" drop down, I vaguely remeber seeing blue colored
boxes in front of each of the options (Free/Busy ...). I see the
options, but the colors are no longer there!

Now I am begining to feel that the colours were not chosen
automatically based on category, there used to be another drop down
next to "show time as:" from which I used to choose the color ... has
anyone seen anything like that?

Thanks,
Raj

It appears that what I am looking for is a feature like labels and it
is not supported in outlook 2000. I am trying to check if my older
outlook had outlook 2002.
