Managing Outlook Contacts

Hi - I'm ready to load (manually) a whole lot more contacts into Outlook, but
I'd like to feel better about managing this information - I have researched
information and it doesn't seem to work right ...
Here's the deal ... I want to be able to assign multiple categories for
individual contacts.  When I open the contact information, there are multiple
categories listed, these categories are in my Master Category List, but the
contact does not appear/is not listed in these multiple categores
as-assigned.  I would like to have one category for ALL contacts, and then
other categories as-required.
Can anyone help me here?

Let me make sure I understand your question. You are claiming that when you
assign a category to a Contact, that Contact does not appear in that
Category?
That does not happen. You must be mistaken or doing something wrong. Tell us
what you are doing.

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting something  ... I'm assuming that categories are
those listed along the lefthand side when I open Contacts within Outlook ...
I'm just realizing that perhaps those are actually considered "folders" and
not "Categories" ... is that right?

There are countless views of Contacts in Outlook and you did not indicate
which you are using. Categories do no appear on the left hand side of any
view of Outlook.
If you want to see your Contacts grouped by their Categories, use the "By
Category" view.
