In any account, when I click on "Add" for Business Contacts, I select "Add
Existing Contact". The box should have all of my business contacts on the
left that can then be selected by clicking on the arrow to move them to the
box on the right. BUT, this box is empty. I have several business contacts,
but they are not showing up., which means that in order to have the same
business contact in two different accounts, it is requiring me to create a
new business contact each time. This of course, results in several duplicate
entries in my business contacts.

That's a known design limitation.

Hi Sue

If this is a known design limitation - is Microsoft making changes & if so
when will they be available?
Thanks

From a business perspective it is absolutely necessary to be able to link a
contact to more than one account. Are you listening Microsoft???
