Automatic Formatting for Calendar Entries
I would like to have different colours for each of the calendar entry types.
I understand that I probably need to select View, Current View, Customize Current View and select the Automatic Formatting button but it is looking for a condition. I don't want to enter something like a specific word in the entry to identify it as for example an appointment. I simply want Outlook to see I am creating an appointment and make it blue. Is this possible? Thanks |

Automatic Formatting for Calendar Entries
Thanks so much Diane, but I am confused. Do you mean go into View, Current
View, Customize Current View and select the Automatic Formatting button and then do something perhaps under the Advanced tab?

Yes, you need to add the 'message class' field in autoformatting. For the
form, enter appointment or meeting - partial word should work. Note that if this is in outlook 2007, and you have categories assigned, they take precedence over autoformatting colors. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Poll: What version of Exchange server do you use? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=33803 "Lisa" wrote in message news Thanks so much Diane, but I am confused.
