Default how can I see a contact's category in outlook 2003?

In Outlook 2002 when I open a Contact I see a window with name, address,
phone, etc, etc, and a box on the bottom right for "Categories". I use
Categories a lot.

In Outlook 2003 when I open a Contact, there is NO box for Categories, and
there is no mention of Catrgories in any menu or in the Help index and
search. It looks like Categories were done away with in 2003, but I know
that is not true.

How can I (1) see the Categories box for a Contact and (2) assign a Category
to a Contact.

Unless you're using a customized contact form, the Categories box should be in the same place -- at the bottom of the mail contact information page, to the right of the Contacts box. Maybe you need to make the window taller?
