Add My Categories into the Master Category List
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. -- Thank you... Elaine

Add My Categories into the Master Category List
Do you have access to the old computer? If so, add all the categories to an
item - then copy the list of categories from the 'items belong to these categories' field in the categories dialog (or from the categories field on the item) and paste it into a text file. move it to the new computer and paste the list into that field. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

In OL07, right click the top folder (Personal Folders), choose Properties, and click Upgrade to Color Categories. That should do it. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?

Add My Categories into the Master Category List
The two suggestions made in this thread depend on your outlook version. More comfortable, and independent from the used Outlook version, does it work with Category Manager (link in my signature). You can import, and export your categories, and add them easily from items to the Master Category List. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?
