Default Custom Fields

I have several Custom Fields for my contacts. How do I get them to display
when I select Categories to display all the infomation for contacts in the
specific category?

Modify the current folder view using the commands on the View menu to add those fields.

Default Custom Fields

Sue, thanks for your response but I guess I am rather dumb about this. Here
is what I have done. I have a category named Cape Fear River Watch. Within
that category I have 119 members. I have gone to ALL FIELDS and added 5
custom fields. When I view the River Watch by category the custom fields do
not show. If you have the patience please take me step by step about what to
do assuming I am as dumb as a post about this. Thanks

It sounds like you have yet to add the fields to the view. Either go through the View menu or right-click the column headings and choose Field Chooser, then drag the desired fields to the column headings area to add them to the view.

Thanks for your response, however I don't see commands on the View menu that
allow me to do this.

Look again: View | Arrange By | Current View | Customize Current View | Fields.
