automatic formating in Outlook 2007 Calendar

[Sebastian Deac]

I want to use automatic formatting in Outlook 2007 Calendar in the same way I
used to with O2003 (rules that set a color to an appointment by matching a
criteria based on category and words in the subject field

Since the categories are now color coded and selecting "none" as color does
not perform as expected, please tell me if there is a way of doing automatic
formatting when a category is assigned to an appointment.

For example, if an appointment is assigned "business" category with "light
blue" as color, I want to make it "dark blue" if the text "ok" is found in
the subject.

correct, if an item has a color category assigned, the view will not
override it in the day week/month view. This is how it worked in older
version when colored labels were assigned and color categories are an
extension of labels. Off hand i don't know of a way to override it.

Autoformatting works correctly on table views.

Thank you for the answer. I have tested the table view and it works like you
said. Of course, filters need to be applied (start

However, the "day/week/year" view with the "week" selection is a more
intuitive (visually) than the list-like table view.

I was thinking that the "none" color option for a category was supposed to
be a "set the colors according to automatic formatting rules" option.
Instead, this option just gives a "white" color (or whatever the default
color might be).

Is there a way to set "no color" option to work properly?

to my knowledge, no, there is no way to make it work properly. if you have a
support contract or a new installation, open a support incident for this -
that is the best way to get their attention.
