As Carsten said: The :CATEGORY: property applies to the entry headline _above_ it, and to the entire tree below it So in your example >> * Teaching >> :PROPERTIES: >> :CATEGORY: Teaching >> :END: >> ** Sanskrit I (WS08) :PROJECT: >> :PROPERTIES: >> :CATEGORY: Sanscrit I >> :END: the ":CATEGORY: Sanscrit I" applies to the entry _above_, i.e. ** Sanskrit I (WS08) and the ":CATEGORY: Teaching" is overridden. The TODO entries in your file are _below_ ":CATEGORY: Sanscrit I" so they will show up fine. Think of the PROPERTIES as an attribute of the entry above. -- Jost
