Adding information to columns in "Category" view

I have a rather large contact list to create. I'd like to do it in the
"Category" view because it's easier and faster. I am unable to create
additional colums that are capable of accepting information. When I add
fields (columns) like: "Address", "E-mail", etc. I am unable to make an entry
to the newly created columns. Of course I can do it in "address card" view.
Why not "category" view? I can add the columns but they won't accept data.
Thanks, emlawpro
 
Seems like a rather awkward way to do things. Table views were not really
intended for data entry.
Have you enabled in cell editing in this view?
 
Neither Address nor Email is a simple text field. They're both combinations of multiple fields. You could add the fields for city, state, etc. to the view but you'll still need to open a contact to create an email address.

Maybe the solution is to create the list in Excel and then import into Outlook?
