Add Custom Fields to Outlook 2007 Contacts
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!!! |
