Catagories in Contacts can not be "seen"

My company is using an exchange server to share files. We have created a contact list on the server. All employees are able to access it. The problem is that a main administrator creates the categories in the database and when an employee decides to move the contact to another category, they would click on the category buttona nd the category list will come up. Many of the categories are not in the employee's master category list so htey do not see it in the category window. Is there a way where we can have just one person create the category and have it become automatically inserted into all the other people's master category list? It is too time consuming to have each one of the employees enter the categories manually into their computer. Please help.
 
The master Category list is part of each user's Windows registry. Users can
see what categories other users have put on items, but don't know what
categories the other users have on their master lists. The best solution in
a public folder is to enforce category selection through a custom form. See
