Important Notes for using the Color Picker inside the Menu Builder:

• The feature to assign colors to categories is only available in Outlook 2007 and later versions.  This feature is not available in Outlook 2003.
• The color picker can only be displayed for Category Tags and does not apply to Email Address, Custom Filter or Custom Search menu items.  Select the Menu Items help topic to learn more about the various types of menu items used in Categorize Plus.
• A menu criteria must first be entered before the color picker can be displayed.  Select the Category Tag Criteria help topic to learn how to enter menu criteria for Category Tags.
• In order to enable all of the built-in features associated with using a color category inside Outlook, Categorize Plus will covert the criteria that is entered in the Category Tag to an Outlook Category and then add the 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 Tag.  It is important to note, the menu criteria for Category Tags will be automatically added to the Outlook Master Categories only if a color is assigned.  If a color is not assigned, then the menu criteria will not be automatically added to the Outlook Master Categories.
