The Simple List view. With the Advanced Toolbar on you will have a window
telling you which view you are in at all times.
Then use the field chooser to add fields you like to see and the Group By
box to group in your preferred way.

Explain more specifically what you are doing.
Try using the Simple list view of the Contacts folder and adding the
Categories column manually, then use the Group By box to group by
category.
Turning on your advanced toolbar will enable you to reach the buttons
that
do these functions.
Re the Master Category List - what happens when you try to delete a
Category? BTW deleting a category from the Master Category List will
still
leave Contacts already categorised in the Category.

I am a new user on Outlook 2000. I have MS Office 2003, including
Outlook,
on order. If upgrade will solve my problem, please advise. If not,
what
am
I doing wrong.
I've added several new contacts each belonging to a new category. I
show
my
contacts in the contacts folder sort by category. Unless these new
ones
have
multiple categories assigned, the folder view will not show them. Is
there a
maximum number of categories that I may have exceeded? Also, in trying
to
figure out what was wrong, I created several "dummy" categories which I
cannot seem to delete from the Master Category List. Please help.
Thank you for your prompt response. I did turn on the advanced toolbar
and in playing around with customizing my normal view, I discovered that
I apparently filtered out some of my categories (inadvertently). Once I
cleared filtering, everything showed up. What is a Simple view? I could
not find any selection on any menu by that name. I look foward to
upgrading. If there are any tutorials for Outlook with Office 2003, I
will certainly spend some time trying to master the software.
Thanks again.
