assigning label color names?

Hey all,

I'm on MS Office 2000, running Outlook 2002 (that I got
with my handheld PC synch software). I can color-code
calendar appointments, but can't figure out how to change
label names. My OL 2002 help file makes reference to
a "Calendar Coloring" button on a menu, but I can't seem
to find it--on the toolbar, or on the "add/remove buttons"
option. I also can't find a similarly-titled pull-down
menu option.

Any thoughts? How would I change the names of labels?

Also, does anyone know if one can show only particularly
labeled or categoried appointments on the Day/Week/Month
view, instead of all appointments?

Thanks for your help,
Erin

In a day/week/month view, Edit | Label | Edit Labels.

You can filter by label, but you'll see the original label names in the
filter dialog, not any custom names.

When you're in the Calendar:

Edit, Labels, Edit Labels.
