Convert from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007
I am confused. I had all of my Contacts assigned to Specific Categories in
OL 2003. I imported all of my information from a .pst file into my new OL 2007. The Categories for my Contacts are shown. But, I can not find any way to sort, add, or change these categories for the Contacts. I tried adding a new Contact and that didn't even give me any way to add a Category to the new Contact. Where did the Category table go??? All I can find is some Color code Categories, like all you need are 6-colors. And, even those do not show up for adding to new Contacts. The OL Help says to control Categories through Business Contact Manager. Since there are no Business Contacts yet, that just takes me to a blank screen? What happened to the access to Categories for the Contacts? -- Life is an adventure with God leading.

Convert from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007
No answer, I just agree- in my 2000 contacts I do not know how to export and
import categories- they just get lost which is a huge disappointment. "Rev Anderson" wrote: I am confused. I had all of my Contacts assigned to Specific Categories in OL 2003.

Convert from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007
All that link tells me is that there is no way to import my Categories into
OL 2007. Plus, it tells me how to automatically have "Color" Categories randomly added to my Contacts. Why would anyone wnat to that? I don't need colors for categories. I need words to identify the categories. Out here, in the wild and not in some Microsoft office, we would really like to be able to keep features like Categories when being forced to upgrade. Why do we have to spend hours re-creating these things, when it could have been set-up to actually import them? How do we set-up/add Text Categories in OL 2007? -- Life is an adventure with God leading.

IIRC it tells you how to migrate Categories from earlier versions.
