Categories in Outlook 2003?

[Charlie Chapman]

Since updating to Outlook 2003, I don't seem to have access to the Category Field (or
Master Category List) anymore? In Help, it referred to "a Categories item on the Edit
Menu", but I have no such item on that menu. Also, when setting up new contacts (or
viewing existing contacts), there is no field on the setup screens to enter categories.
If I look at "All Fields/All Document Fields", I see the Category item, but have no access
to update it, nor does it contain values for contacts (I had categories for all my
contacts in the prior version!). It's probably and option I did not install or
something, but have others experienced this and have a solution to regain access to
categories? I'm using Office Small Business 2003 with Windows XP.
Thanks
Charlie

Do your contacts have the category field on the bottom edge of the first
form? Try resizing the form if you can't see it.

Well, how smart you are! I feel about 1" tall now - I should have seen that! Thanks for
the pointer.
