Important Notes for using the Color Picker inside the Category Editor:

The feature to assign colors to categories is only available when using Outlook 2007 and is not available when using previous versions of Outlook.
In order to enable all of the built-in features associated with color categories inside Outlook, Categorize Plus will first covert the category that is displayed in the Category Editor into an Outlook Category and then add this category to the Outlook Master Categories list. Categorize Plus will then assign the selected color to this Outlook Category. This is done so that the selected color will always be associated with Outlook items that are categorized using this category.
