Outlook 2003: Automatic colouring for calendar items

I know that you can set automatic formatting for calendar items on Outlook 2003 to colour items as they are created.

However, an excerpt from Microsoft's help file says:

"If you open another person’s calendar or a calendar stored in a public folder, you will see the colors that were assigned manually, but no automatic coloring. Automatic coloring can be seen only by the person who set it up."

My problem is that I'm trying to create items in a public folder with automatic colouring, but I want others to see that colouring. As it stands, Outlook 2003 does not provide this functionality.

Can anybody suggest a workaround for this? I know that manual colour items will be visible, but I want to use that option as a last resort. I was thinking that perhaps a macro could be made to automate the colour as if you were doing it manually, that could work. Any thoughts?
