Default Lack of Master category list. in Outlook 2007

I can not find the categories button that is usually at the bottom right of a
contact. My only option seems to be on the ribbon for categorizing with
colors. How can I get the master category list available so that I can
categorize my contacts

Thank you

Select All Categories and use the buttons to add categories and assign colors.

Default Lack of Master category list. in Outlook 2007

I see how to add categories and colors to go with it, but I still do not have
the master list to choose from. Where can I find it?

Does Outlook 2007 just not have a master category list?

If you right click on the root of your Outlook 2007 and select properties, do you see the option to upgrade to color categories at the bottom? Select this and it will automatically add your master categories to the current list of categories.

Default Lack of Master category list. in Outlook 2007

When I installed OL2007, all of my NAMED contact categories transferred
nicely and all of my contacts are sorted when viewed in category view. But
WHERE IS the master category list. I don't want to assign colors, I want to
use names for my categories, as I did in OL2003. I think the color
categorizing feature is virtually useless!

How do I access and edit the Master Category LIST by NAME that was in
OL2003? When OL2007 categories ALL is opened, the list I created is nowhere
to be found!

Default Outlook 2007 Master Category List

I also have the same Master Category List problem. Unfortunately, I don't understand the suggestion to right click on the root of Outlook 2007 (i.e. where do I find this root?) Please could you talk me through it?
