Merging Categories
I am running 2003 Outlook. I have items in my calendar that have several
different categories. I would like to be able to merge two of the categories. Is that possible and, if so, how is it done. TIA |

To merge the categories A and B into C: Switch to a table view that displays all of the items and group by categories. Select one item and create the new category C. Now select all items of category A, display the Categories dialog, check category C and uncheck category A. Do the same with the category B items. For one folder and a few categories that works quite well. If you have to reorganize a lot of folders/categories you might try Category Manager (url in my signature), which allows among others merging and renaming of categories across folder boundaries very quickly. -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Organize eMails: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6 Am Thu, 9 Aug 2007 13:50:10 -0700 schrieb JanetP: I am running 2003 Outlook.

Actually, I did want to make categories A and B a single category. Michael's
answer was very helpful. I was not aware of the table view. Now that I know, I can do most anything I want to do.

As that has become one of my main areas I've learned what people really mean :) -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Organize eMails: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6 Am Fri, 10 Aug 2007 09:22:59 -0400 schrieb Brian Tillman: Michael Bauer [MVP - Outlook] wrote: To merge the categories A and B into C: Switch to a table view that displays all of the items and group by categories.

That's really easy - as I'm used to translate daily some confusing English into what I consider would make sense :)) -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Organize eMails: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6 Am Mon, 13 Aug 2007 17:23:51 +1000 schrieb Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook): And EVEN if they are writing in English rather than your native German!
