Replacing Categories using either Outlook Master Categories or Menu Builder Categories

While in Edit Mode, the currently selected category can be replaced with an existing Outlook category by opening the Outlook Category Picker dialog.  The Category Picker dialog is displayed by clicking on the action button to the right of the category as shown in the illustration below. 

The currently selected category can also be replaced by an existing Categorize Plus Category Tag category by selecting a category from the combo box drop down list that is also indicated in the illustration below.  The drop down list includes a complete list of all the individual Category Tag categories that are contained in the currently loaded Menu Builder menu file.  For more information regarding Category Tag Menu Items, then please refer to the Menu Items help topic.  For more information regarding the categories assigned to Category Tags, then please refer to the Category Tag Criteria help topic.

Note:  The category picker action button and the category drop down list will only appear when the category is placed in Edit Mode by double-clicking on the category.

Applying  Changes

If the text of a category is changed while in Edit Mode, then the changes can be applied to the currently selected Outlook items by selecting the Apply Categories to Selected Item(s) command from the Category Editor Menu Commands.  The changes made during Edit Mode, will only be applied to items that contained the original category. 

For example, in the illustration below, the category titled "Categorize Plus" has a solid green check box indicating that this category is contained in some, but not all of the currently selected Outlook items.  If the text of this category were changed and then the changes were applied to the currently selected Outlook items, then each item that contains the original category titled "Categorize Plus" will receive the changes, but the items that do not contain this category will not be changed.
