I use FP2k on Win 98 and recently discovered the
categories component. This features was going to be used
for a sitemap directory.
Does FP allow you to rename a category?
As far as I know you can only "add", "delete", or "reset"
category names. IMO it is mind boggling that there does
not appear to be a way to rename categories.
Sorry, you have to delete the old category assignment and
then add the new one.
Fortunately, this doesn't have to be terribly labor-
intensive.
1. Switch to Reports View.
2. Display the Categories report.
3. Click on the Catgegory heading. This will sort
all the files in your Web by category name.
4. Shift-click to select all the Pages with the "wrong"
category name.
5. Right-click the selection, then choose Properties.
6. Click the Workgroup tab, then delete and add whatever
category names you want.
Only thing, I'm not sure of this works in FP2000. It
definitely works in FP2003.
