I'm confused as to if it's possible to get custom fields to show up in
the GENERAL fields section on an Outlook 2007 contact card, and would
appreciate any advice that the fine people here might be able to
provide.

First off, I go to the Contacts section of Outlook 2007 and select
ViewCurrent View Phone List

In this view, I can right-click on the field categories at the top and
choose Field Chooser. The field Chooser dialogue box then appears,
and I proceed to Custom Fields, define my fields, and drag and drop
the category into the list.

At this point I can go to a Contact Card, and in the SHOW section of
the ribbon I can click on All Fields, then choose User-Defined Fields
in Folder to view the fields I have added and fill them in.

The fact is however, i want information define and deem to be
important to show up on the default card view for my contacts (the
part that has name, job title, email, etc.).

Is this possible? Am I barking up the right tree? Once again, any
help you can provide is greatly appreciated!!!
