Do you have access to the old computer? If so, add all the categories to an
item - then copy the list of categories from the 'items belong to these
categories' field in the categories dialog (or from the categories field on
the item) and paste it into a text file. move it to the new computer and
paste the list into that field.

I exported my contacts with the catergories in a pst folder. I need to
install exsiting categories on another computer. When I import my
contacts I
lose my created catergories in the "Master Category List". How do I get
my
created categories into the "Master Category List" without having to
retype
them.
