"Contact type" in Address Book/ Transferring addresses from MS Outlook

[drshrinkwrap]

Since Office for MAC doesn't offer separate folders for different
groups (e.g. Work Addresses, Home Addresses) like Microsoft Office did,
I'm wondering if the column titled "Contact type" (mine have what looks
like a little chess pieces in it), would help to create different
groups. However, I can't find any documentation about "Contact
Types." Anyone have any suggestions where to look?

Also does anyone know any tricks for bringing over the old "categories"
from transferring data from Microsoft Office. I lost all my category
designations when using the Outlook2Mac software.
