Using Categories instead of Distribution Lists in Outlook 2003
It seems clear that the MVP's recommend using Categoiries instead of
Distribution Lists in Outlook 2003 and I can see some very good reasons for this. I would like to know the procedure for forwarding an email to a Category group. It appears that the category groups are intended only for new emails. Please help! Greg

Using Categories instead of Distribution Lists in Outlook 2003
Good question. (does that make you feel good?) This is a downside of
Categories over a DL. I would make a new email to the Category of people from the Contacts Folder. Then use Insert ITEM to drop the email in to it. I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Using Categories instead of Distribution Lists in Outlook 2003
Thanks Judy. However, I am using Word 2003 as my email editor instead of
using Outlook. In doing so, the Insert ITEM command is not available. How do I get around this? Thanks, Greg "Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook)" wrote: Good question. (does that make you feel good?)

Using Categories instead of Distribution Lists in Outlook 2003
I will disagree with you here. Try what I suggested. AFAIK it will work.

Using Categories instead of Distribution Lists in Outlook 2003
Judy,
I am a little confused. Was your last response supposed to be to me? I did try what you suggested and as I replied, it doesn't work if you are using Word 2003 as your email editor. I am using Outlook 2003 running on an exchange server 2003. Did you set your configuration to use Word 2003 as your email editor and then try the Insert ITEM command? I don't have a clue what AFAIK stands for. Can you explain without acronyms please? Thanks, Greg "Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook)" wrote: I will disagree with you here. Try what I suggested.

AFAIK = as far as I know.
No I cannot try it as I run 2007 on my machines. Sorry. Didn't mean to confuse you or lead you astray.

Using Categories instead of Distribution Lists in Outlook 2003
In Word, don't click Insert/Item on the menu bar, but click on the toolbar the arrow right beside the paperclick icon for attachments, which gives you the choice to either insert a file or an item. -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Organize eMails: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6 Am Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:52:01 -0700 schrieb Greg: Thanks Judy.
