Outlook shortcut keys for "Categories" not working
I have assigned shortcut keys for 4 Categories in Outlook, assigning them to
Ctrl+F2 through Ctrl+F5
using the dropdown in the Categories-dialog.
However, none of the shortcuts are working, i.e. nothing happens when I press the shortcuts.
I have tried assigning them to other combinations like Ctrl+F10, but with no result.
I'm running on a Danish keyboard, but I have no problems with any other shortcuts.
Update
If someone should stumble over this later, the accepted answer below solved if for me in this instance. However, I have later encountered the same problem again. This time the keys were "moved" 5 places up. So the category that should have been assigned using Ctrl+F2, could be assigned by using Ctrl+F7!
I was searching on Google, and then I randomly stumbled upon the answer myself while playing around in Outlook. I'm using Outlook 2010, but I believe it should be the same for your Outlook 2013.
Here's what I did.
Right-click the account folder in the folder tree (so not inbox, but the folder in the level above it: [email protected])
Choose Data Folder Properties.
Click Upgrade to Color Categories... -> Yes -> OK.
Exit Outlook and reopen it.
Your hotkeys should now work.
