Copy and Paste a Cell Down a Column

[Mike Cym]

I have about 3000 contacts and just added a new category to help sort them.
Each one will be categorized as one on four options. Is there a way I can
copy and paste one of these options down a column so I can categorize several
of them at once instead of typeing in the option for each individual
contacts. Thanks and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Categorize one contact in each of the four categories. Then change your
contacts folder to the "By Categories" table view. Expand the "None"
category, select all the contacts in that group that you wish to recategorize
(using click/Shift-click or Ctrl-click), then drag the selection to the
category group you wish to assign. release the mouse button.

no, but you can use the group by category and drag them to the correct
category or select and r-click, categories... both of which work with
multiple selections.
