I have upgraded my stand alone home office PC that had Office 2003
professional. I was able to transfer all my mail, contacts, tasks, etc. In
contacts, however, I have several custom catagories that I created. Although
the catagories assigned to my existing contacts remained after the transfer
to the new PC, there seems to be no method of transfering the modified
"master catagory list" from the old machine to the new one.

Am I stuck "fat fingering" in these custom catagories into the new machine
or am I missing something?
