We are in the process of adding a new Category (i.e. newsletter) to the 1700
individuals in our Outlook database. Is there any way to "automatically"
check the box for this category in the entire data base? It sure would save
someone going through each record and checking.



Thanks, Will

Click to expand...

In your Contacts folder 'Edit' tab > 'Select All' then 'Actions' tab >
'Categorise' etc.

Or select them all (anyway you know how) then right click to bring up the
context sensitive menu, select Categories and check one or more.

Of, in addition to what Mr. Spike and Judy said, you can add the category to
one contact, display the Contacts folder in the By Category view, select the
contacts you wish to be in the new category, then drag the selection to that
category label.
