or this Tutorial on using Categories

===========================
Here is an Outlook macro I wrote in reply to a similar question in May 2006.
I believe it creates a new Outlook email, then prompts you to select a
category (or maybe more than one). Then it goes through all your contacts.
Every one that has the selected category is included on the email's BCC.
===========================

Thank you for this. However, in part because I'm a stubborn SOB I was
looking for existing point-and-click functinality that would let me easily,
without the development of new Macros, use the fact that Outlook will
display all the  contacts which are "part of" a selected category,
to do
something with that list, like you know, email them. 

I mean Outlook provides a way for me to group contacts. Surely it should
provide a way for me to "do something" with the group.

That said, thank you truly for your "macro". I truly appreciate the
time you
took.
