MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / August 2006Change font color by category
I'm a novice to Outlook / Outlook programming. But, what I need to do is make the font of the individual appointments ("events") be different colors, based on what category I've assigned. (I've defined about 8 categories). What I'm trying to accomplish is get a monthly calendar that (on view/print) has distinctive colors per category (of the 8 categories -- not all provided categories). Can I manage this? Thanks so much, in advance! The font color for a day/week/month view can't be changed. You can, however, change the background color to one of the color labels by setting up automatic formatting on the view to apply a label per category. In other words, this isn't a programming issue, at least not based on what you've told us so far.
