SYMPTOMS
The following behavior occurs when you use only the keyboard to move the focus and to enter commands in the Color Categories dialog box in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. If you rename a category and then press the TAB key, a space is added to the new category name. If you press the ESC key to exit the Color Categories dialog box after you rename the category, the dialog box closes. But, the category is not renamed.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the rename process has not been completed. You must press ENTER after you type the new name for a category. Then, you must click OK to close the Color Categories dialog box.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
 * 1) In Outlook 2007, press ALT+A.
 * 2) On the Actions menu, press the DOWN ARROW key to select Categorize.
 * 3) Press the RIGHT ARROW key to expand the menu.
 * 4) Press the DOWN ARROW key to select All Categories, and then press ENTER.
 * 5) Press the UP ARROW key or the DOWN ARROW key to select the category that you want to rename.
 * 6) Press the TAB key to select Rename, and then press ENTER.
 * 7) Type the name that you want to use for this category, and then press ENTER.
 * 8) Press the TAB to key select OK, and then press ENTER.
