I need help making contact folders, please help!

I have used outlook express since 1997. Last week I switched to outlook. I
have over 1200 contacts and in oe I was able to organize my contacts into
groups. (for instance i had all the contacts in my home state in one folder)
I was able to import my oe address book into outlook but I dont know how to
organize the address book into group folders. I have posted this question on
several newsgroups but I am afraid I've lost track of where they are posted.
If someone can help me wade through the steps to do this and could email me,
I would appreciate it. my hotmail addy is livinliberty; or email me here;
I REALLY appreciate the help; WC

Outlook does not use groups.
You have several options to group Contacts:
Create Categories
Create separate Contacts Folders
Create Distribution Lists

Read the Help files or one of the many websites devoted to Outlook. None of
this information is secret.
