In case someone else runs into the same problem:

Solved the problem by exporting my calendar folder appointments from my old
Outlook and then importing them into the new one. That restored the bolding
function. :-))

Just thought to add an additional piece of information that I was
told may explain my problems (but not how to fix them):

This is a new notebook PC that had a trial version of Office 2003
pre-installed. I uninstalled it and installed my own purchased copy
of Office XP. Apparently, some one told me, this can make the
installed Outlook 2002 not work correctly. Not sure if that is true
but I do not know how to solve what appears to be a bug.

This is probably very simple to do but I cannot find the setting for
it.
Using Outlook 2002, in the Calendar view set to "Date/Week/Month view
with auto preview", there is a space on the right top showing 2
months. Today's date is highlighted - as it should be. But
appointments I have set up in the future are not highlighted or
bolded on the monthly calendars. They used to show up on my previous
PV but I cannot find the setting to show it on this new PC. I have
selected "Bolded days in Date navigator represent days containing
items" in "Format Day/Week/Month View" but that does not seem to do
it.
How do I do that?

Thanks.
