Default How do I flag certain contacts to always generate a read receipt

Frequently send messages to work Group but only need a read receipt from a
few of them. Is there a way to tag certain individuals in my contact list
to ALWAYS generate a read Receipt so that only they will generate the
receipt. This shold work for individual messages as well as those sent to a
group.
I notice a flag in the "ALL DATA" for contacts that should accomplish this
but see no way to change the flag.

Outlook has no such per-contact setting.

Default How do I flag certain contacts to always generate a read recei

if you follow the String.... {Highligh a Contact}... Click on "FILE" -
"Properties" - "All Fields" - "All Mail Fields" - and look down the list
there is a "Receipt Requested".
All the Contacts currently have a "NO" in this field. What is it used
for.? This is the field I was inquiring about.
Thanks...

It's not used for anything for contacts. You picked that field from the All Mail Fields. It applies only to mail messages, not contacts.

only to the Contact that I was looking at that all the fields did....
