MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Contacts Organization Help
Hello Got a problem with Outlook 2003 Contacts, I have set up Sub folders iunder the Contact tabs to seperate certain contacts. When I try and Copy one of those to a New Subfolder it does not allow me to. If for instance I have sub folder Catalog ( for contacts that recieve catalogs) and I want to copy it to Newsletter sub folder that I have created it will copy to a sub folder names catalog when I try and rename it to newsletter it deletes it all. I hope I have made it clear if not please let me know and I will try again. Chris I can't really follow what you're doing. It sounds like you're trying to make a new subfolder named Newsletter under your Newsletter folder by copying your Catalog folder.

Okay basically under My Contacts I Have: Newsletter Catalog Groups. When I make a new group will call it "Webletter" under my Contacts.I then Right Click on Catalog and say copy to I choose the webletter folder and click okay. Outlook then creates a new folder called Catalog but when I look into Webletter it is empty, the contacts never copied over. When I try and Rename the second catalog over to webletter and delete the empty one it deletes both of the webletter directories. And also If I have certain contacts in Newsletter that I want copied into Webletter How do you do that. Chris I'm still confused. Outlook doesn't have anything called "groups." The procedure you're using copies the Catalog folder to the Webletter folder, creating a new subfolder named Catalog under Webletter. You should be able to navigate to the Webletter\Catalog subfolder and see there the contacts that were in the original Catalog folder. The Webletter folder would have no contacts in it because it's new. Renaming the Webletter\Catalog subfolder to Webletter\Webletter shouldn't change anything but the name of the folder (although if you're using Outlook 2003, it will make it terribly confusing to have folders with the same name showing up in the Contacts navigation pane). Is there a purpose to this whole exercise? Have you ever tried using categories to organize your contacts? If you want to copy individual contacts, select them, then Ctrl+drag them to the desired target folder.

The reason for different titles un My contacts is cause when we send out Newsletter from our company we just use the contacts it the right folder which is under My Contacts. Sorry for Confusing you But it is hard to explain. and yes this is on Outlook 2003. Chris You can do the same thing with categories.
