Changing Category on multiple contacts at once

[dmahanay]

Is it possible to change the category on a lot of
contacts at one time rather than opening each contact
individually. I have 38 to change.

Select the contacts. Right-click, and choose Categories.

Try exporting to Excel, make the change and then import back to Outlook.

Did you try using a filtered view instead of Advanced Find?
