Categories set in calender not showing in to do bar

I have two categories set for the two different jobs I work in the calender,
but the color does not carry over to the to do bar display of the
appointments. Is there a way to have the color display in the to do bar as
it does in the calender automatically?
 
you should see the same color in the to-do as you see in the day/week/month
calendar. Maybe try opening outlook with the /cleanviews switch... it will
erase all custom views though.
 
Diane,

Thanks for the help. The problem seems to lie that I use automatic
formatting on the calender (ex: job 1 gets red when I type the name in the
subject field, etc.) If I manually categorize each entry in the calender, the
correct color shows up in the to do list. First of all, are automatic
formatting and categories two different color coding schemes? Secondly, if
they are the same, how can I correct the problem of the color not carrying
over?

Thank you
 
automatic formatting won't display in the to-do bar, only color categories.
But if you use color categories, autoformatting won't work.
