MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2006Color of Meetings
I have Outlook 200 and would like to know how I can change the color of appointments and meetings. I have looked everywhere and can't find how to do it. > I have Outlook 200 and would like to know how I can change the color > of appointments and meetings.

SignatureBrian Tillman I would like to be able to highlight different types of meetings with different colors so the ones that relate to each other are the same color. > > I have Outlook 200 and would like to know how I can change the color > > of appointments and meetings.

What version of Outlook? You said "Outlook 200", apparently eliding the final character.

Your choices for coloring calendar entries are limited and controlled by the "Label" drop-down on the calendar item creation form. SignatureBrian Tillman Not in Outlook 2000. The only color coding it has is through the Automatic Formatting dialog for the view settings.

The By Category view is an example of a table view. The Day/Week/Month view is not and does not support automatic formatting.

Sorry, but how do i get into table view to do this, or am I just trying to do something that isn't going to work for what I need? > The By Category view is an example of a table view.

If you don't know what a table view is, go to your Views menu and display the By Category view. Maybe you should think about upgrading to Outlook 2003.
