I would like to add a category to the events/task menu rather than using one that appears in the drop-down menu. How do I do this? There seems to be an option to 'add a new category' but when I try it it doesn't add anything - just waits until I click the box of an existing category. Thank you

If you use the New Category option in the event creation screen it is a "one off" thing and is not really useful. After you enter the new category text hit return and it is added to the list, but only for this event. Go to Options-Calendar-Category and create them there to add them permanently to the list.
