If I install Office 2007 on a Computer using 2003, will all the Categories in
each contact be carried over?
 
Yes, an categorized item will keep its categories. But the Master Category
List isn't carried over. If you want to keep that list as well, Assign all
of the categories to one item; in OL07, right-click the top folder, choose
Properties, and click 'Update to Color Categories'. That should find all of
the categories assigned to items and write them into the new Master Category
List.

It should do that - but a very few people reported that it failed to do so.
If you want to be absolutely sure that you don't lose any category, use
Category Manager, export your categories and import the list on the new
system. For details and a free download see the link in my signature.

Are you saying that I need to pick a contact and then add every category to
that contact?
