In my current version of Outlook there are only color catagories. I have gone through all my contacts and added my catagories only to have them dissapear after restarting the computer. Any ideas would be great.

Hi Mark,

Which version of Outlook are you using?

2007 on an exchange server

Hi Mark,

As per my understanding Color adds visibility to your Outlook items. After you associate a color with a color category and then assign the color category to different yet related items, the items are easier to identify and organize. To find your contact in color category you just have to click on Contacts menu and then you will get the color categories with all listed items on contact body in the middle section of Outlook 2007. In case if you are still facing problem in searching the category then you can simply type it in Contact search box. Hope it will work.
