In Outlook 2002, I went to create a rule in the rules
wizard. I created a rule based on content, which asked
me to specify a word found in the heading and subject. I
created rules to recognize the specific word "[spam]" in
the heading and subject with an additional rule to place
these e-mail in the "specific folder" I created called
Spam.
After I hit okay, I get a message that says, "a value in
the rule description box has not been set. To set a value
click on the underlined words in bottom of the rules
wizard."
When I click on the underlined word according to the
directions, (in this case it happens to be the
word "spam"), a "Search Text" window appears with a box
prompting me "specify specific word or phrase to search
for in the subject". When I type in the word "[Spam]" I
can't hit the "OK" button as it is greyed out. My only
other option is to highlight the word "[Spam]" which
appears underneath in the search list. I can then hit
remove or add. If I hit add, it erases the word [spam] I
just typed into the "specify specific word" box, and it
recreates it into the search list window so that there
are now two words in the search list that say "[Spam]".
Bottom line is that no matter what I do in this screen,
the computer continues to prompt me that I have not
specified a specific word, and the rule will not function.
Please help.
