Outlook 2002 Custom Auto Formatting not working!

[Javawzl]

I created cutom rules to color my tasks differently
according to the first two letters of the category name.
The coloring worked correctly in Outlook 2000 .. but since
upgrading to 2002 the formatting does not work! It seems
to only be when formatting according to category .. any
other field is happy. Here's an example rule:

All personal related categories start with the suffix 'p-
' .. so for financial I have 'p-financial'. To color all
personal categories blue in the task list I use the rule:

[categories][contains][p-]

Any ideas? Is there a patch for this? Thanks.
