Default view categories doesn't show all categories

14 contacts have a categories identified, but that category doesn't show up
when I go to View-Category. Two other categories do show up correctly. How
do I get this other category to show up with I want to view a list of the
contacts in each category?

You have missed a lot in your explanation so I will attempt to fill in the
blanks - If I am off track, come back with a better explanation of what you
are doing:

I think you are looking at the By Category view of the Contacts folder. You
won't see al Categories as headings in this view.

The Contacts will be grouped according to their Category. If no Contacts is
in the Category "Trainer" for example, you will not see that Category at
all.

Maybe your view is corrupted, it's possible to reset views -

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

It appears that you understood my question. Yes, I am in the By Category
view of the Contacts folder. I have many contacts that are assigned to many
different categories. Two of the categories are showing up in this view, the
others aren't. I confirmed that I have contacts in the categories that
aren't showing up.

I opened the Outlook link to reset views, as you recommended, but don't see
anything related to this issue -- at least nothing was obvious enough to jump
out at me. So I need more direction for using this link and in finding the
exact info for resetting views.

this is from the page/link I posted:

cleanviews
Restores default views. Use with care as all custom views you created are
lost.

PMJI, but did you check to see if that view has a filter set on it? That would certainly explain what you're seeing.
