UNEQ50

Here's one for you all, thanks in advance for any help.

I work for a fire department and I am trying to make a
calendar for 2004. A typical Firehouse calendar has three
rotating shift in 24 hour increments (A, B, C) So Jan. 1,
2004 is a B-shift, the 2nd is a C-shift, etc.

I would like to make a calendar, colored daily to match
each shift (red-A; blue-B; black-C) and the ability to add
personnel off duty on vacation; up to six people per
shift. Two of these people are on a six week recurrent day
off, and one additional person is off on a three week
recurrent day off.

Confused? Me too.

To sum it up, how can I customize the color of individual
days and/or weeks in the calendar?

Thanks.
 
There's no way to color-code entire days or blocks of days in Outlook.
Outlook 2002 and later offer colored labels for appointments, but that
only adds color to the appointments themselves, not a whole day block.

You might want to take a look at some free Word templates that use your
Outlook calendar data to create a calendar in Word, which you can then
customize to your liking. I personally use My Outlook Calendar and am
very pleased with it. Links to these templates can be found here:
