Peter, thanks for the prompt, and easy to follow instructions. Unfortunately
the check box already had a tick in it, so i am still stuck.

What fields are you trying to edit? The email address fields cannot be edited in a folder view.

You would need to open the item and edit it in its own window.

Thanks Sue,
I have tried right clicking on the contact, then "Open" then I get 5 tabs
(general, detail, activities, certificates, all fields) none of which seem to
have suitable places for me to enter/edit the stuff I want to put in "Address
Street", "Address City" etc.

The address fields are on the General page, the one that you see when you first open the item. They are also present on the All Field page.

Default how do i edit fields in contacts view

I would like to have 7 or 8 numbers showing when I open each of my contacts.
How do I do that?
How do I change the categories already exsisting under Phone numbers in each
card?

You would need to customize the contact form, publish the new form, and make it the default. These pages should help you get started:

http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/contactform.htm
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm

You cannot change the phone number fields listed in the dropdown list.
