In OL07, right click the top folder (Personal Folders), choose Properties,
and click Upgrade to Color Categories. That should do it.

I am having a similar problem but with Outlook 2007. i just upgraded from
2003 and my previously created categories show up but say 'not in the
master
category list'. i would like to merge them in or even reclassify to the
new
color scheme but am unsure how to do this

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.
