MS Office Forum / Outlook / Business Contact Manager / September 2007How to copy a contact?
Hi, I see the "New contact from same company" button, but I'd also like to make a new contact with all fields, including my user-generated fields, filled in so that all I'd have to do is change the name. Is there a way to copy a contact so I can do this? Many fields aren't reproduced by the "New contact..." button. Thanks, Barnet > Hi, > I see the "New contact from same company" button, but I'd also like to make [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Barnet Open up the folder view in the left pane and select the Business Contacts folder. In the list of contacts select the one you want to clone, and drap and drop it onto the Business Contacts folder in the left pane. It should (I'm not at a machine with BCM to test this...) prompt you saying the contacts already exists, and do you want to create a copy? Create a copy. All the fields in the copy should be the same. Open the copy and enter the new contact's name. Hi Luther, I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. I drag 'n' drop the contact back into the folder and nothing happens. What do you think?

Drag contact from Accounts folder to Business Contacts folder, and I now I have two copies of same contact in Business Contacts folder. Rename the new contact to the new name. Delete extra contact left in Accounts folder. The behavior may vary depending on Outlook or BCM version. You can also try dragging with the right button. |
