Hi Jim,
Do you mean that: You changed the column width for the Category column. And it will be auto reset when you switch to other folder
and then switch back?
It may be caused that there is problem with your custom views in the Tasks folder. Follow the steps below to see if it works.
#1 set the reading pane
==========
Go to the Tasks folder.
Click the View menu > Reading Pane > Bottom to set the reading pane in the bottom. Is it helpful for the Tasks table list view?
#2 Restore the default views
==========
1. Exit Outlook
2. Click Start > Run > type outlook /cleanviews, click OK.
3. Go to the Tasks folder. Change the column width for the Category column.
4. Switch to other folder and then switch back. What is the result?
If the above steps don't address the issue, please take a screen shot of the Tasks folder view. And send it to me at v-
(E-Mail Removed). Thus, I can see what happened with the Tasks folder view.
If anything is unclear or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Emily Lin
