Deletesd catagories

[Jess]

I run Microsoft Outlook 2007 to manage a small business. I believe I deleted
all of my contact catagoires when I switched over from Outlook Express a few
months back. I have already looked in my deleted items folder and there is
nothing there. Is there any way to get this info back?

The Windows Address Book doesn't have categories, as far as I can tell, so I
don't see how you could have lost them when moving from OE to Outlook. You'll
have to add your categories in your Conacts folder in Outlook. It's fairly
easy to do with multiple contacts. Display your Contacts folder in a table
view, use click/Ctrl-click to select all the contacts you want to be in a
particular category, right-click the selection and choose Categorize to
specify the category for all of them at once.
