Contacts and Folders

I have just started to learn about Outlook. I have Outlook 2K SR 1. I
want to use the contact list and run Mail Merge into MS Word.
At present I have my contact list without any folders. I set up a
folder called Family and moved several contacts into the folder. It
now appears to me that those contacts are now only available to me via
the Family folder. Is this correct? Does that mean that a contact can
only be in one folder? I am used to Yahoo Addresses where a contact
can be in many Folders at the same time.
For instance if I am organizing several different activities I want a
folder of contacts for each activity. Some people may be on only one
contact list while others may appear on more than one contact list.
Is what I want possible and how would I accomplish it?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
 
If you moved the Contacts, they would only be in one folder. If you copied
them, they would be in both. Your choice.
Using Categories is the way most users organize Contacts if they don't want
to have them in separate folders.
