What is wrong with the option of opening the contact, click on categorize
and then New?

After furious head scratching, Chris Thomas asked:

| We use categories fairly extensively to categorize our contacts...
| imagine that!
|
| The problem is that the 2007 version of quick-click labels is a major
| pain when dealing with dozens of different categories; it seems to
| be a great benefit for GTD-style task management, but for information
| sorting it's just not doing it for us.
|
| So the question: is there a way to reactive the old-style
| "categories" functionality found in 2003 (ie, the simple type-it-here
| text box)? This was amazingly useful for us, and the upgrade totally
| kills our workflow.
|
| Thanks
