Outlook 2007 rules question

Hi all,

I'm trying to do something which I thought would be simple, but seems not to be in Outlook 2007. I want to setup a single rule that uses "OR" statements. Example:

If subject contains "x" OR body contains "x" OR sender contains "x" then move to folder "x"

By default, Outlook seems to create the rules using "AND" logic, which means all condidtions need to be met. I can find no way of changing that.

Whilst I realise that I could split it out into three seperate rules, it just seems a bit messy. Am I missing something?

Regards,

Rob
 
If you create a new rule, use Start from blank rule.
Then for example, Check messages when they arrive, then check with specific words in subject.
Now hilite the link in the bottom pane for this and add your words. These should be or statements.
