Sorting contacts into different folders
I've always used Outlook express and could separate contacts into different
folders making it easier to find different contacts, ie personal, business, friends, etc, but now that I have changed to windows 7 and I am using outlook 2007 and for the life of me I cant figure out how to separate contacts so I don't have to go thru every contact to find what I need. Can someone give me an idea on how to manage this? Jim S |

File New Folder
Rarely is creating separate Contacts Folders a preferred way to organize Contacts. Categories work better. -- Russ Valentine "Big Jim" wrote in message ...

Categories would work if I understand what that means but how do I set that
up? Jim S "Russ Valentine" wrote in message ... File New Folder Rarely is creating separate Contacts Folders a preferred way to organize Contacts.

Basically categories are Distribution Lists in reverse - instead of adding a contact to a Distribution List you add a Category to a Contact. One contact can have multiple Categories. Open a Contact and click on the Categorize button. You can use one of the default categories, or create your own. |

Sorting contacts into different folders
I tried to categorize a couple of contacts but I still have to go thru the
entire list to find their names. I want to be able to go to a category and find a contact quicker then have to go thru the entire list. Jim S "Gordon" wrote in message ...
