How can a rule be created to use "and" instead of "or" criteria?

Trying to organize email based on a two or three level criteria. Will be
searching subject line for a location and then a category to move subject
message to specific folders. There are several different buildings with
multiple categories for each. the categories are the same though will need
to be associated with buildings. The search criteria I would like to use
would be, move message to "specified folder" based on Location AND Category.
When attempting to use the Rules Wizard, it only has "OR" option.

Sorry for the miscommunication. We are running Outlook 2003. The AND I'm
trying to utilize is while identifying the "Specified Words". In the user
interface for this step of the wizard, you can enter "Location", select add,
then enter "Category", select add, then the two criteria are set as
"Location" OR "Category". What is required is for the "OR" to be "AND" in
the criteria for "Specified Words". I did try using the * wildcard in a
single entry, i.e. "Location*Category", though thisdid not work.

Thanks for you feedback!
