hi..you can get your answer with this example..follow it

This example will look for the words food and evening and only when it finds both words will the message be moved to the dinner folder.

  1. Open the Rules and Alerts dialog;
    • Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 Tools-> Rules and Alerts
    • Outlook 2010 File-> Manage Rules & Alerts
  2. Press the New Rule button.
  3. Start with a blank rule;
    • Outlook 2003 Select the option Start from a blank rule and then select Check messages when they arrive and press the Next button.

  6. Here type; food
  7. Press the Add button and OK.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Select: assign it to the category category.
  10. Click the category link at the bottom to open the Categories dialog.
  11. Here we will create a unique category for the rule to be used. I recommend that you name it something that starts with Rule to indicate where you used it for and then add the name of the rule such as Dinner search word food so the entire category would be named; Rule Dinner search word food
    • Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 Click New to name the category and assign it a different color if you want.
    • Outlook 2003 Type the category name and press the Add to List button.
  12. Click OK to close the Categories dialog.
  13. Click Next and then Next again to go to the dialog where you can name the rule.

Hi,

This behavior is by design. Take "food" for example, Outlook will always run the rule for these emails which contain "food". This will include some words like "foodstuff" "foods", we can't exclude these words.
