Catagories on the Outlook 2007 Contacts Form

[Pamala]

On the previous version of Outlook, one was able to add the catogory at the
bottom of the initial contact form. However, in the 2007 version, there
isn't a place to put the catagory if you want to group people in your contact
list.

Does anyone know how I can get this to show in the form so I can get
everyone together.

It's still there. It's in the Ribbon.

Russ,
I don't mean all of the color coded catagories. I mean that at the bottom
of the new form when you start a new contact. At the very bottom you could
insert a catagory for someone. At the bottom of the 2007 new contact form,
there isn't an option. I hope I am making sense?? -Sorry

It's still there. It's in the Ribbon.

Russ...I see what you are talking about. I figured it out...Thank you for
pointing me in the right direction. The colored symbols threw me, but I see
that I don't have to give a color, but I can just give it a name.

Correct. As usual, Outlook remains the crippled orphan in Office. Some of
its features were migrated to the new Office interface and some were not,
leaving its users in the lurch and confused. That appears to be the only
thing Outlook does well. Consistently.

Thank you Russ. I consider myself pretty bright, and spent a better part of
the day in the bowels of Outlook trying to find this....and all the time, it
was right under my nose!!!-lol

Thanks again, and have a wonderful weekend.
