MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / August 2007Merging Categories
I am running 2003 Outlook. I have items in my calendar that have several different categories. I would like to be able to merge two of the categories. Is that possible and, if so, how is it done. TIA > I am running 2003 Outlook. I have items in my calendar that have > several different categories. I would like to be able to merge two > of the categories. Is that possible and, if so, how is it done. What do you mean by merging the categories?  SignatureBrian Tillman To merge the categories A and B into C: Switch to a table view that displays all of the items and group by categories. Select one item and create the new category C. Now select all items of category A, display the Categories dialog, check category C and uncheck category A. Do the same with the category B items. For one folder and a few categories that works quite well. If you have to reorganize a lot of folders/categories you might try Category Manager (url in my signature), which allows among others merging and renaming of categories across folder boundaries very quickly.

See, I would have intrepreted "merging two caletgories" to mean "make 'A and B' a single category". SignatureBrian Tillman Actually, I did want to make categories A and B a single category. Michael's answer was very helpful. I was not aware of the table view. Now that I know, I can do most anything I want to do. > > To merge the categories A and B into C: Switch to a table view that > > displays all of the items and group by categories.

As that has become one of my main areas I've learned what people really mean :) SignatureViele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Organize eMails: <http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6> Am Fri, 10 Aug 2007 09:22:59 -0400 schrieb Brian Tillman: >> To merge the categories A and B into C: Switch to a table view that >> displays all of the items and group by categories.

And EVEN if they are writing in English rather than your native German!

That's really easy - as I'm used to translate daily some confusing English into what I consider would make sense :)) SignatureViele 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 17:23:51 +1000 schrieb Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook): > And EVEN if they are writing in English rather than your native German! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> mean >> :) <http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6> >> Am Fri, 10 Aug 2007 09:22:59 -0400 schrieb Brian Tillman: >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> and >>> B' a single category". |
