I use categories extensively. In the past I have been able to change the
view to “by category�, then copy and paste all the contacts in that category
into a separate folder for further sorting and/or exporting from JUST that
category.

Maybe my method of copying/pasting into a separate folder is not the best
method, but it has been working for me for YEARS. In other words, in order
for me to sort by multiple categories or geographically within one category,
I’ve always just copied the entire category into another folder and then
manipulated that data freely so that I never modified the original contacts.

Problem now is that I can no longer copy and paste from the category view.
I have no explanation for this. From within the “by category� view, I’d just
click the category, “control C� (all contacts within that category would
highlight)… then I’d click the separate folder that I wanted to paste them
into and just “Control P�. Now everything works up until the Paste… they
won’t paste in to the new folder.

Any suggestions on why the paste won’t work or other suggestions on
manipulating contacts deep into a category are appreciated!
