Err, sorry for a boring post in our enthu filled lounge... But I am bugged with this one... ;) I use Microsoft Outlook 2003 and I want to display some additional columns in Address Book > Contacts. Say Company name and phone number. How can I do this? The ‘Global Address Book’ displays all the columns I want by default, but ‘Contacts’ shows only name and email. Where is that nifty setting hidden to customize the AB display? Salil Khedkar [^]
I don't know if what you mean is this, but if you right-click anywhere on the contacts screen (not on any contact) you get a menu with a show fields options where you can choose the fields you want to see. However, bear in mind that you will only see the field if there is some data in it. Regards. Francisco Silver at last!!

Thanks Francisco. Yes, that is what I want to do. But the right-click menu you described is apparently only available in Outlook Express. I can’t see that functionality in Microsoft Outlook 2003. :( Salil Khedkar [^]

That's very strange. I am using Outlook 2003 and it works perfectly both in the contacts exported by exchange and in any contacts folder that I create for me. :doh: Francisco Silver at last!!

You are confusing 2 things. The contacts screen vs clicking on address book in the tool bar and selecting contacts

- Right-click anywere in the contacts list and choose "Customize Current View..." 2) click the "Fields..." button in the dialog that appears 3) select the desired columns/fields from the left listbox and "Add->" them to the right listbox.
