Categorize Plus Reference 
Toolbar Menus Options

There are three options available for configuring the Categorize Plus Toolbar menus. These options are shown in the illustration below.  Please refer to the Categorize Plus Options help topic to learn how to open the Categorize Plus Options dialog.  After opening the dialog, then select the Toolbar Menus Tab to display the options page that is explained in this help topic.

Note:  All of the options explained on this page are only available in the Professional version of Categorize Plus.  Please refer to Feature Comparison for a complete list of features available in each version of Categorize Plus.

Options available for Categorize Plus Toolbar Menus

  • Install Toolbar Menus 
    Install Toolbar Menus provides three options for installing either the Categorize Menu, the Filter Menu or the Search Menu in the Categorize Plus Toolbar.  Selecting or deselecting any of these menu options will either add or remove the associated Menu.  In addition, the user can also select the type of search engine to use with the Categorize Plus Search Menu.  Please refer to the Search Engines help topic for further information.
  • Install Toolbars Inside Outlook Items
    Install Toolbars Inside Outlook Items provides several options for automatically installing the Categorize Plus Toolbar inside Outlook items when these items are opened using Outlook.  By selecting these options, the user can choose which type of Outlook items to install or not install the Categorize Plus Toolbar.  For information regarding the Categorize Plus toolbar that is installed inside Outlook items, then please refer to the Categorize Plus in Outlook Items help topic.

Note:  When Categorize Plus is installed in Outlook 2007, then there is also an option to "Create a separate tab in Contact, Task and Journal Items".  Selecting this option will force Outlook to create a separate tab in the Ribbon Bar for Contact, Task and Journal Items that contains the Categorize Plus Menu Group.  This option is required to display the Categorize Plus Menu in items that are created using the Microsoft Business Contact Manager add-in.  Since the Business Contact Manager add-in creates its own unique Ribbon Bar from scratch, the only way to display the Categorize Plus Menu in these items is to add a separate tab.

  • Auto Expand Menus 
    Selecting the Auto Expand Menus option will automatically re-expand the toolbar menus after a menu item is selected from the Menu Hierarchy.  Enabling this option will reduce the number of keystrokes required especially when using keyboard accelerators to select menu items from either the Categorize Menu, the Filter Menu or the Search Menu.  For more information on using keyboard accelerators with Categorize Plus menus, then please refer to the Entering Menu Captions help topic.
