MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2004How do I change the color of a flag in contacts?
I am trying to change the color of a flag in the contacts area of Microsoft Outlook. There is a box in the "flag for follow up" area but it is greyed out. How do I get it active? Contact flags don't have colors.

In my contacts view (current view - phone list) with the flag status showing, I am able to "left click" on a followup flag and choose a different color flag. So why can't I do that when I am in the individuals contact data? What I would really like to do is sort my contacts by follow up flag starting with the overdue ones first. > Contact flags don't have colors. > > >I am trying to change the color of a flag in the contacts area of Microsoft > > Outlook.

I think this is one of those cases where Outlook lets you do things that don't really mean much because they haven't been completely implemented. (My favorite example of this type of "feature" is dragging Contact fields to a Tasks folder view.) Color flags were designed to work only on mail items. That they work in a contact phone list is cool, but they're not implemented in the rest of the contact UI.
