I have just upgraded to Outlook 2007 - hoping that would solve this issue
among others but it didn't. I had the same problem in Outlook 2003 before I
upgraded. I had used categories for contacts and color coded my appointments
using auto format.

In the new program when I go to categroize a contact I click on the little 4
color box hit all and I get 200 various combinations of my categories.

I have set up multiple categories for my contacts. Clients, Friends,
Family,
etc. Some individuals fall into several categories, which s to be
expected,
but now when I look at my list of categories, it is showing every possible
combination used as a separate category in the lsit.
Friend
Friend, family
Friend, customer
family, caustomer, etc.etc.
I must have several hundred combinations listed which is a pain to look
through when you want to assign a category to a new contact.
How do i get it to just show each individual category without all of the
combinatsion?
Thanks!
