Since I use categories extensively and those colors DO carry over to the To-Do bar, I have never seen this problem. However, I created a couple of items and used automatic formatting and do see the problem. I believe it stems from AF using Views and Views do not carry over to other parts of Outlook.

After furious head scratching, Chris asked:
| Request: Ability for Automatic Formatting Rules in a Calendar to be
| reflected on the To-Do Bar.
|
| Here are the current steps which do not work:
| This is what I did:
|
| 1) Swtiched to Calendar
| 2) View pulldown > Current View > Day/Week/Month
| 3) Right-clicked on the calendar background and chose "Automatic
| Formatting..."
| 4) Clicked "Add" button and called it "Meetings"
| 5) Set a Color (i.e. Blue)
| 6) Clicked "Add" button and called it "Important Meetings"
| 7) Set a Color (i.e. Red)
| 8) Clicked "Condition..." and added specific people in the Attendees
| field. 9) Clicked "OK"
|
| Result: My appointments colored per my settings--blue and red.
|
| Problem: The color coding is not refleced in the To-Do Bar.
