Hi, Outlook 2003 w/all updates on XP with all updates.

I had to repair Office, unrelated to Outlook, and in the process lost
all my custom catagories in the Master Catagories list. I manually
added them all back in, so all is fine now - but is there a way to
back up the Master Catagories list? Or, is the list included in the
..PST file? If so, can I copy my .PST flies off to an external drive,
then copy them back after doing something like an Office repair?

Thanks, Marti
