Automatic formatting in Outlook Calendar disappears

[dk]

I've repeatedly put in automatic formatting codes in Outlook Calendar, but if
I shut it down, they disappear upon reopening some time later. I want a blue
background every time I type 3M. What can I do so the automatic formatting
works when I reopen Calendar the next day?

this means your views are messed up. I'd start with a new custom view
rather than editing one of the default views. At most, you'll need to
reapply it to the calendar when you reopen.

I have the same problem. I created a calendar that I have shared with other
users. In that calendar, I created a new custom view that only applied to
that folder. I didn't edit an existing view. Each morning I turn on my
computer, the custom view that I created does not exist on my computer. One
user can't see the custom view either but another user can. I don't have a
problem with needing to reapply the view each time I turn on my computer. But
I don't want to keep recreating the custom view.

You're using Exchange server? Cached mode or online?
