Outlook 2007 has taken away a critical feature as far as I can tell. In
previous versions, you can use Automatic Formatting to change the color of
appointments (and other objects) based on conditions. We use custom forms
and fields and have a series of labels set up using Automatic Formatting.
In views other than the day/week/month view, our colors are working. But it
appears that Automatic Formatting does absolutely nothing in calendar view.
As such, all of our appointments look the same, regardless of the conditions
we have defined.
What was the thinking behind eliminating the functionality of labels? And
if you're going to FORCE us to use categories, then provide a way to
automatically set them.
Or am I missing something?
As I said before, this is a critical feature for our workflow. We cannot
upgrade to Outlook 2007 unless there is a workaround.
Thanks!
