How can I show categories?

Can you not see the Categories field in the Contact Record?

How can I display categories to my Outlook 2003 contacts?

I can display category assignments of contacts in "By Category" view but I
don't seem able to view categories in the "Address Cards" view.

When I click on a contact I can see, General, Detail, Activities,
Certificates and All fields, but I'm not seeing any categories unless I
select "All contact fields" under the All Fields tab.

Is there an easier way to view categories assignments?

Address cards is not the most useful view - try Phone list and using the
Group By box, or use the By Category View.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Make sure the contact window is tall enough to show the Categories and Contacts controls, which appear at the very bottom.

Modify the view to add the Categories field.
