Default Options field within page setup for Printing contacts

Microsoft state the following for adjusting the print
fields for printing contacts:-

"Open the folder that contains the items (item: An item
is the basic element that holds information in Outlook
(similar to a file in other programs). Items include e-
mail messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, journal
entries, notes, posted items, and documents.) and view
(view: Views give you different ways to look at the same
information in a folder by putting it in different
arrangements and formats. There are standard views for
each folder. You can also create custom views.) you want
to create a print style (print style: A combination of
paper and page settings that determines the way items
print. Outlook provides built-in print styles, and you
can create your own.) for.
On the File menu, click Print, and then click Define
Styles.
In the Print styles box, click the print style you want
to base your new style on.
Click Copy.
In the Style name box, type a name for the new print
style.
On the tabs, select the options you want."

I have three questions:-

1)In my copy of Outlook 2003 professional there are then
no options shown in order to select or deselect. How do I
make these options appear in order to customise the print
out? (I have no attached printer and print to an Adobe
PDF. Does this make any difference?)

2) Is there any way to include the picture as displayed
on the print out, rather than simply a file reference
shown at the bottom?

3) Normally the title will be presented as my name at the
top of every sheet before the contact details. However, I
am wishing to print the contacts for a company and would
like the specific group to appear at the top for ease of
distribution to everybody. I do not want my name as the
title of everybodys copy!

Thank you

Alex

1) Which options are you referring to? Are you saying that you were unable
to display the Page Setup dialog for customizing a print style? What
happened when you tried?

2) No.

3) Outlook can't do that. You might want to experiment with a Word mail
merge to put the contacts in the format you prefer.
