In my last tip a long two weeks ago, I was distracted by my toddler granddaughter and didn’t double check the tip before sending it. After that I decided to take a break from writing tips until Maddie went back to her mom.

In that tip I said you could use the Categories field on a new message form’s Options dialog to type contacts in. Unfortunately, that field uses the category picker too. Not all is lost however. You can implement a form region to add categories using a text box – see Form region: Categories text box for instructions.
