How do I add "categorize" to New Message format?

[EdIndoproject]

I want to add "categorize" to my New Message form in Outlook, allowing me to
categorize each message as I author and prior to sending. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,

You mean as a button on the form itself instead of a menu option?

Thanks for responding. My apologies for not identifing the OS etc. I am
running Vista Home Proffessional with Office 2007. I do not see "categorize"
anywhere on a a "new message" document. I cannot categorize until it is
sent, and I go into that file. And I would like to have it as a button as it
is on other forms of Office and all other email folders.
I looked at the recommended and I did not see it is applicable, am I missing
something?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

That's true, the new message window has not a Categorize button on the
toolbar. Instead you'd need to open the Options dialog (very small button in
the lower right corner of the Options button).

The recommended Category Manager adds a sidebar with all of your categories
to your Outlook. Click on the second toolbar button to open that dialog. You
can place the dialog whereever you want to and get your categories very
quickly at hand.

For any issues you might also contact me via e-mail.
