-> OL2007: Custom categories? How? <-

[Steve JORDI]

Hi,
In Outlook 2007, I have imported all my contacts from my Palm.
It came with a "Category" field, which is Adress, Restaurant,
Hotel, Friends, Professionals, Business.
The categories are correctly appearing in Outlook.

I have a problem though.
When I edit a contact, there is no way to assign one of those
categories to it. The only choice I have is the color categories
that I don't use at all.

Is there a way to create custom categories so they appear differently
than "blue category", "green category", ... ?

Thanks for any help!


Sincerely,
Steve JORDI

This is because your categories from your Palm aren't in your Master
Category list yet. You can add them via Edit-> Categorize

Ok thanks,
just found the "All categories..." option that opens the
dialog box where I can customize, rename and create new ones.

That did the trick

Sincerely,
