July 5, 2022 by Mike Knight

If you’d like to get more at-a-glance organisation and track all items related to a project or task in your Microsoft Outlook calendar, colour-coding can help. Here’s how to add it:

– From the main calendar view, right click on an appointment, meeting, or event in your calendar, select ‘Categorize’ and select a colour category.

– From an open appointment, meeting, or event, look for the ‘Categorize’ button on the ribbon, in the ‘Tags’ group.

– For more categories or to create a new category, click on ‘All Categories’ to open the ‘Colour Categories’ dialog box, and select the check box next to the colour category.
