I enter a new appointment and assign it a categoy (i.e. Personal). I
want the appt to be automatically colored as listed in the Label
colors. I went to Calendar Coloring and Auto-formatting and added a
rule. I called it Personal and marked the label as personal (light
green). I tried all sorts of conditions to get this to work and it
won't. For example, I went to Condition, then to the Advanced tab and
put Categories in the Field, with contains as the Condition and
Personal as the Value. This did not work. I tried many variations of
this rule and others and just can't get my appointments categorized as
Personal to show up light green automatically. I tried it with
Business too.

Please help me if you can!
 
Is this Outlook 2002 or 2003? If 2003, is this the released version or
still the Beta?
