Outlook 2003. When first installing, I set up too many
catagories and now want to reorganize/simplify. The
basic Outlook instruction said first to DELETE the old
and ADD the new catagories. Then need to go to each
contact and make the change.. I have over 400 contacts.

It seems like I could EXPORT and work on the catagories
in EXCEL (easier to edit out the old,add new catagories
and reorganize) and then IMPORT back into Outlook with
the new correct CATAGORIES named.

Suggestions or agreement as to the method of handling
this?

Thank you.
 
I think it's much easier to use the By Category view in Outlook. Right-click
all the items in one category, right-click, choose Categories, then remove
and add categories to modify all selected items at once.
