how can i make today's to-do tasks appear red?
Hey all
I really like the way the text appears red in tasks or contacts when it is overdue. On the older Outlook, contacts would appear red as soon as they reached a specfic time! now it only shows red at the end of the day or something? I tried changing the "work day hours" in calander options, but it didn't seem to change?! Any help much appreciated. Iain N.Z

Sure... customize the view.
The example at http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2008/up080424.htm#3 shows how to filter by date - you'll want to set up automatic formatting rules for tasks due now. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
the issue is that I don't want to filter things out {that scares me}. I really just want to have the list of tasks fo TODAY show in red from 9am in the morning, as opposed to them only turning red after 5pm in the evening! Is this simple, or do I need to trick Outlook?

Nothing to trick or filter - create automatic formatting rules to color
items due today. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Awesome thanks.
I had some figuring out to do, but you got me in the right direction. Now, what i need to attend to TODAY - appears a custom colour from the BEGINNING of the day!
