In Entourage, Groups are not the same as Categories. I have assigned almost of all my contacts assigned to some Group. Yet when I scroll down the big list of contacts in the main window of Address Book, the Category column shows None for everybody. Categories have no connection to Groups. In the Address Book, I changed Joe Blow's Category from None to Family. That did not add him to my Family Group. Entourage cannot print an address book of a Category, any more than it can print an address book of a Group. In Address Book, I changed the Category of all the Athertons from None to Family. I went to Print, and the only selections were Selected Contacts, Flagged Contacts or All Contacts. There was no way to print an address book of either my Family Group people, or my new Family Category people. Entourage will Print address books, but only those consisting of Selected Contacts, Flagged Contacts or All Contacts. I manually selected a half dozen people, went to Print, and chose Selected Contacts. Print Preview then showed those half dozen contacts ready for printing. What are Categories for? They are for seeing at a glance, with word and color, what category you have put a contact into. You can't print an address book of the contacts in a Category. What are Groups for? They are for seeing in one window everybody you put in a group, and for sending an email to everybody in that group. You can't print an address book of the contacts in Group.
