Previous categories not accessible

[Guest]

I have migrated to a new computer where I have loaded Outlook 2007. All the
data has come across fine (previously using Outlook 2003) and I can see my
previous categories in Contacts view.

However when I create a new contact the only categories that are available
are the colours - despite clicking on "all categories". If I click on an
existing contact the previous categories that it is allocated to are listed,
but I don't have an option to add it to another one.

Any help gratefully received.

It worked! Thank you so much!

It sounds like the categories currently in use were not migrated. Try this:
In the folder list, right-click the top folder that contains all your other
folders, and choose Properties. On the Properties dialog, click Upgrade to
Color Categories.
