How many categories can I have in Outlook 2007?

[Guest]

Outlook 2007 is "renaming some of my categories in Asian characters when I
close the categories window after adding new ones.

I thought there may be a limit on the number of categories - but it could be
something else.

I don't think there is a hard set limit for that. How many categories do you
have now?

Thanks. I have more than 50 (which was a limit in earlier versions of Contact
Manager - which I don't use). I have been able more since I made the post. I
have added them two at a time, and renamed only one at a time.

Perhaps it was because I had enamed and added colour to a several
catergories at once - and it had to change too much information in my
contacts file at once. I have 700 entries in my file, and a lot of them have
multiple categories.

I''ll reopen this if the problem returns.

I don't think there is a hard set limit for that. How many categories do you
have now?
