I have used the 15 color labels with over a hundred categories in Outlook
2003. For example, the Medical label could have categories for Medical, the
person(s) getting medical help, and if it involved missing school or work
that would add another category or two.
By having broad color labels enabled me to look at me week and see how much
time was being spent on business, on family related or religious activities
or hobby activities or medical related activities.
But I would often have a number of categories attached to a meeting. If my
whole family went to dinner in a restaurent with friends, I would click the
categories for: Business, Family, Friends, names of each immediate family
member, and Restaurant.
In work, someone could be in my division, my office, on a committee with me,
on a list of managers, a list of executives, a list of suppliers and vendors.
Meetings can have representatives of many categories.
When I get a report that one of my kids has missed too much school, I can
see by that persons name and school and medical, what happened on each of
those absences and can also quickly determine if my information and the
schools do not match.
To my chagrin, since I find a lot to like in Vista and Office 2007, color
labels and their titles are combined. I do not see a place to just enter
categories which selecting a color for each category group.
Having synchronized my Palm (I have Beyond Contacts which has worked bery
well with Outlook 2003), I found that label names now show up as categories
and I cannot find how to separate the two or account for the more than 100
categories I use.
If anyone can help me, I can use it. HELP!
Thank you!
