"Automatic Formating" (colored bars)

[99XJ]

I can't get the auto format for the colored bars to show. I have several set
previously with no problem but I am trying to create one with "the word
'Week' in the subject field" to turn the orange color (or what ever color)
but it won't. I've looked for other formats that may be overiding it but
none. I have cleared form cache and emptied the Deleted items folder

how many autoformatting rules are in the view?

Someone else recently had problems with more than 4 autoformatting rules in
a view and opening outlook with the /cleanviews switch fixed it - but using
this switch will erase all custom views you've previously created.
