Outlook 2007

[kevin]

I just upgraded my computers to Office 2007 from Office 2003. When I
used Outlook 2003, my contacts were arranged by categories. With the
upgrade to 2007, I still have my contacts and they are still labeled
with their category. The problem is that when I create a new contact,
I don't have my master category list, just the default list. I also
click on the "all categories" but my master categories are still
missing.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Kevin

Did you upgrade to color categories?

Did you upgrade to color categories?

Sorry for not including that info.

I right clicked on personal folder, properties and clicked on upgrade
to color categories.

From everything I read, that should've fixed it but no luck. I
upgraded 8 computers, all have the problem.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That's also my experience, it doesn't work always. You may use Category
Manager for that: If you still have OL03 running, you may use the Addin to
export the Master Category List and import it on OL07. If you don't, you
could still use it to copy the assigned categories from all of your items
into the Master Category List. For details and the download please see the

I too have had trouble getting Upgrade Color Categories to work. So I can't
see the color categories in my contacts address book - tho I used to be able
to. I can only see them if I open an individual contact.

Isn't there a way to solve this without buying another product?
