MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2007Master categories list for Contacts in Outlook 2007
When I started with Outlook 2007, one primary purpose was the ability to choose from a large variety of categories so that I could email/communicate with my clients based on their interests, etc.. Do you have some sort of way to import the master category list? I wanted the list to choose options, not have to create all of my own. If I am missing something, please advise. > When I started with Outlook 2007, one primary purpose was the ability to > choose from a large variety of categories so that I could [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > not > have to create all of my own. If I am missing something, please advise. Do you want Outlook to wipe your bottom as well? What's the problem with creating your own categories? Your categories are probably TOTALLY different from the ones I use so I welcome the ability to create my own... No need to be rude Gordon. It is great to add categories, I agree, but why reinvent the wheel. > > When I started with Outlook 2007, one primary purpose was the ability to > > choose from a large variety of categories so that I could [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > creating your own categories? Your categories are probably TOTALLY different > from the ones I use so I welcome the ability to create my own... Outlook 2007 no longer places a generic list of categories in the registry. It does, however, allow you to retain any of the categories you were using with previous versions.

I did not have a previous version on this computer. I bought it new with the Vista system. Is there a way for me to import those categories from another source? I appreciate your assistance. > Outlook 2007 no longer places a generic list of categories in the registry. > It does, however, allow you to retain any of the categories you were using [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >> different > >> from the ones I use so I welcome the ability to create my own... No. Seems to me it would be pretty easy just to create the Categories you want. That's what most of us have done all along anyway.

If you choose to make a new pst and not move your data, you just need to move 1 item with all the categories.

I still have the Outlook 2003 on a laptop that I no longer use. I have Outlook 2003 on that computer, but was using Outlook express. So, is there a way to copy the file from the 2003 laptop onto a disc and then upload it onto my new computer with Outlook 2007? If so, I am challenged on the computer and would appreciate some very elementary instructions on how do do it.

Kelly, first open the old Outlook on your laptop, pick any item and assign every category to it. Then close Outlook and find the PST file, usually in: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Copy that to the new computer. Click in Outlook File/Open/Outlook Data File. Then right click on the new top folder, Properties/Update to Color categories.
