this means your views are messed up. I'd start with a new custom view
rather than editing one of the default views. At most, you'll need to
reapply it to the calendar when you reopen.

I've repeatedly put in automatic formatting codes in Outlook Calendar, but
if
I shut it down, they disappear upon reopening some time later. I want a
blue
background every time I type 3M. What can I do so the automatic formatting
works when I reopen Calendar the next day?
