How can I assign each of my family members a color in my calendar?

[anne]

I use my calendar for both business and family events. How can I color my
business entries one color and assign a color to each family member so that I
can see at a glance who the appointment/meeting/event is tied to.

Have a look on this site:

That article was very helpful. Does Outlook 2007 have any additional
features for coloring/labeling?

Thanks

Outlook 2007 uses color categories - so it has more colors and you can
assign categories to colors - you aren't limited like you are with labels.

Thank you, Diane. Can you recommend an article that would provide me with
more information on ways I can best utilizie these features?

I'm going to update the article on slipstick in the morning - but there
really isn't much you need to know - create categories and apply them to the
items. if you put more than one category on an item, it displays using the
color of the last category.

"Color Categories in Outlook 2007"

Maybe it helps.
