How do I custom-label follow-up flags in Microsoft 2003?

I have followed the instructions given from the "Help" articles, but when I
reach step 4, (4.Right-click the flag in the new toolbar, and then on the
shortcut menu, click Image and Text.) there is a problem. When I right-click
on this step, I get the list of tool bars (Standard, Advanced, Web) not a
shortcut menu to "Image & Text."

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else have this problem?

You can right click on an appointment, choose Label/Edit labels (or
similar).

Not in the Calendar, in the Mail Inbox.

I don't know what article you're talking about, but if you want to customize
a button on a commandbar, first right click in the command bar, choose
"Customize...", ignore the dialog that comes up and right click on the
button you want to customize.

This is the aricle...
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011168451033.aspx?pid=CL100626971033

This says that when I have my new toolbar with flags, I supposed to be able
to name each flag something besides, "Red Flag." It show you a picture of
exactly what I am trying to do, yet, what they describe does not happen on my
computer. When I right click on the flag, i just get a menu of toolbars, no
"Image and Text" option.

Works here as expected. In step 4, the Customize dialog must still be
visible, else you're back to step 1 again.

Instead of a right click on the button you can also just select the button
with left, and then click on the Customize dialog on the button in the lower
left corner ("change selection" or similar).
