How do I get the Master Category List on my PC to appear on my associates PCs?
We're using MS Office 2003, Windows XP. We're using Microsoft Exchange Server.

The goal is to have our Contacts located on the public (MS Exchange) server
Categorized and seen by everyone in the office. But when I set up all my
Catagories on my computer, the Category list does not appear on other
computers.
Please advise. I've been trying to figure this out for a long time.

Thanks.

you need to export them and import on the other systems.

Thanks Diane for the response.
How do I do that? I tried Import and Export, but I don't know what to select
from there. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Jeff Young, AIA

On the page Diane linked to, there is a link to another article about giving
other users your Master Category List -- with the caveat that importing it
into their systems will overwrite the MCL they already have.  
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=164625  Underneath that link on Diane's
Slipstick page you can find more information that might better suit your
needs.

If you don't want to overwrite existing categories, please use Category
Manager (see signature).
