outlook 2003 Categories into outlook 2007

[Guest]

I am looking for a way to get my outlook categories that I had in 2003 to go
into 2007 I upgraded from 2003 I tried importing the master list from my
outlook 2003 registry entry but I get nothing.

Try right click on the top folder, Properties, Update to Color Categories.
That should add all of the categories found in that *.pst file to your
Masterlist of Categories.

I am trying to do this on a public address book that is shared through out my
company I do not see where it says update to color categories

If that command isn't available in the folder properties dialog then you
could copy all of the contacts into a Contacts folder of your local *.pst
file. For the pst file the command is available - but it doesn't work always
properly.

Another approach is to use Category Manager (link in my signature), which
allows importing/exporting between OL03 and OL07.

Well I was wondering if there is a way I can get them from a person in my
company that is using outlook 2003 we only have 4 users using outlook 2007
and myself and one other person are having this problem the other 2 we
upgraded worked fine.

Yes, that's what I experienced, too. Sometimes upgrading categories works
and sometimes it doesn't.

Ok so how would I use the category manager to get those categories back?
would I install it on a user who has the categories working in 2k3 or 2k7
then export to the user who needs the categories in 2k7?

That doesn't matter. You can either export from OL03 or from OL07. Then
import on OL07.
