Contact Categorizing limits Outlook 2007
I really find it strange to list a contact as color lt green "holiday".
What is the point of having the ability to list a contact as red "must attend"? Can you have more categorizing of contact over the total of 25 colors listed? And what is the limit to the number of categorties you can have for a contact? Can you export your catigory list for other outlooks to import so that could be alot of work for multible locations.

Contact Categorizing limits Outlook 2007
You can name your categories like you want to. And you can have as many as you want to. The only limit is the number of colors you can use, i.e. 25. But you don't have to use colors at all - that's up to you. In Outlook 2007 you could export/import categories by assigning all of your categories to one email and send that to others. The sender would have to add a registry setting to get the categories sent. And all the receivers must deactivate a rule that removes incoming categories by default. And with that method you cannot export/import colors. More comfortable and with the ability to distribute the colors as well is Category Manager, an addin for Outlook.
